Game Over

My football days might be over. But the game is just beginning…

After an injury that means I’ll never play the game I love again, I didn’t think my life could get any worse. Until I wake up with a pounding headache, the sound of hooves outside, and a tougher-than-nails, sexy-as-hell ranch hand with a scowl the size of Texas banging on my door. Apparently, I drunkenly bought all her granddad’s horses last night…
Her contempt tells me everything I need to know. I don’t have the faintest clue how to be a rancher. But our ranch has been empty since my dad died and it’s not like I have football to keep me busy.
Plus, if the horses are here to stay, then so is Izzy. As much as I live to spark the fiery, competitive glint in her blue eyes, I still want to impress her—in more ways than one… Proving myself with the horses is one way to do it, but so is showing her just what else my hands are good for, and silencing her sassy mouth with my own…
But when a chance to rejoin the world of football comes calling, I see the cautious hope in Izzy’s eyes gutter. Will I abandon the ranch, proving all her misgivings true? Or can I finally accept that the game I once loved is over, and a new one is just beginning…?
