Is the Dragons’ new wide receiver: A) a fallen NFL star looking for a comeback, B) the sexy player your boss wants you to write an exposé on, or C) the former love of your life?
For Milwaukee Dragons beat reporter Natalie Griffith, he’s clearly D) all of the above. Three years ago, Natalie’s bombshell report on her ex-boyfriend’s off-the-field scandals landed her the job she loves, but she still feels guilty about destroying his career. Now Quinn Lowry’s back, and he’s taking over her locker room, flashing his charming smile and reminding her exactly how hot they were together.
After two years out of the league, Quinn is sober and on the field again. He’s worked his ass off and he’s not going to blow his second chance, not even for the woman who broke his heart—twice. Having Natalie around is the last thing Quinn needs while he’s trying to prove he deserves to stay on the team.
Maybe one final night together will give them both some much-needed closure. But with Natalie’s boss pressuring her for another headline-grabbing scoop, can she admit to herself that she’s falling for Quinn all over again?

I thoroughly enjoyed this passionate, slow burn, second chance romance. There are great dynamics and lots of chemistry between the characters in this heartfelt romance. The characters take an emotional journey and find love on the other side.
Quinn and Natalie haven’t seen each other since they were in college, eight years ago. In college they each had big hopes and dreams about their futures. When they meet again, they have achieved their goals. Quinn is a professional football player and Natalie is a sports reporter. Natalie broke Quinn’s heart when she broke up with him. Quinn is now a broody, recovering alcoholic. He is a good guy but he is having a tough time trying to constantly prove himself and make a comeback on a new team. The one thing that hasn’t changed is, Quinn still wants Natalie. Natalie is passionate about her job and is respected in the industry. She knows it would be wrong to get involved with a football player, when her job is to cover the team.
There is a lot of tension between Quinn and Natalie as they spend time together, but try to ignore the feelings they still have for each other. Can they forget and forgive all the issues and hurts from the past? This is another engaging sports romance by Liz Lincoln.
