The running back who reads the defense, takes the hit, and does his job without needing the spotlight. Off the field, he's been doing the same thing with Poppy Hayes for months. Wanting her from the sidelines.Protecting her in every way he can.Pretending it doesn't wreck him every time she smiles at someone else. Poppy is sunshine in motion: bright, warm, impossible to ignore, and still bruised from the relationship she had with Grant's best friend. So Grant keeps his distance. He gives her friendship. He gives her steadiness. He gives her every careful piece of himself except the truth. But on the final game day of his college football career, every line Grant has drawn starts to blur. One sideline glance. One touch in a cold hallway. One moment on a football field in front of thousands of people. And suddenly, the feelings Grant has spent all season burying are impossible to hide. Perfect for readers who love college football romance, he falls first, friends-to-lovers tension, sunshine/grump dynamics, secret longing, complicated friendships, and big feelings that refuse to stay silent.
