One of NPR's Best Books of 2019
A second chance doesn't guarantee a touchdown in this new contemporary
romance from the author of Intercepted.
Single-mother Poppy Patterson moved across the country when she was
sixteen and pregnant to find a new normal. After years of hard work,
she's built a life she loves. It may include a job at a nightclub,
weekend soccer games, and more stretch marks than she anticipated, but
it's all hers, and nobody can take that away. Well, except for one
person.
T.K. Moore, the starting wide receiver for the Denver Mustangs, dreamt
his entire life about being in the NFL. His world is football, parties,
and women. Maybe at one point he thought his future would play out with
his high school sweetheart by his side, but Poppy is long gone and he's
moved on.
When Poppy and TK cross paths in the most unlikely of places, emotions
they've suppressed for years come rushing back. But with all the secrets
they never told each other lying between them, they'll need more than a
dating playbook to help them navigate their relationship.
