Hometown Touchdown (Hearts on the Sidelines, #1)

After my fiancé called off our wedding, I rolled back into Cedar Falls with a bunch of boxes, a bruised ego, and no clue what I was doing. The plan was hide out, drink excessive amounts of coffee, and try not to unravel in front of my mother. What I didn’t plan on was ending up in a rental owned by Knox Dalton, my high school sweetheart, the boy I never really got over, and now my very off-limits landlord.

He’s still infuriatingly quiet, unfairly good-looking, and somehow even more magnetic than I remembered. And while we’re both pretending everything’s totally fine, my pulse says otherwise every time I see him. We broke up years ago. I was the one who ended it. But what if we were never really over? How long can I pretend I don’t want the man who still feels like mine?

When an injury ended my pro career, I came home to Cedar Falls with a wrecked knee and a coach high school football, keep things simple, and stay out of trouble. Then Brynn Marlow showed up. Six years after she broke things off, she’s back in town, living next door and stealing my peace of mind one pair of leggings and one sarcastic smile at a time.

I’ve got a team to run, a town full of busybodies to ignore, and a past I swore I was done revisiting. But none of that seems to matter when I hear her laugh through the wall or catch her looking at me like she’s remembering how good we were together. I keep telling myself I’ve got this under control. But how am I supposed to stay away when the only woman I ever loved is suddenly everywhere?

Full of small-town gossip, second chances, and Friday night lights, Hometown Touchdown brings the perfect mix of football, friendship, and sizzling romance. Fans of grumpy coaches, sassy heroines, and meddling neighbors will feel right at home in Cedar Falls.
