About this book

The Real Ones When Briella shows up to a Valentine's Day charity flag-football event, the last person she expects to see is Maddox—the grumpy quarterback who ghosted her ten months ago right when she was finally ready to be vulnerable with him. He's been haunted by her ever since, but circumstances beyond his control forced him to walk away, and the cost has been everything: his season, his starting position, and his peace of mind. When a chaotic cupid-themed setup throws them back together, old feelings combust into something neither of them can ignore, and Maddox finally realizes he's been fighting the wrong battle all year. This time, he's ready to risk it all for the girl who was always worth fighting for.
