Completed. Charlie McKinley felt like he had the entire world in the palm of his hand. He was the one to finally pull the Jefferson Jackrabbits out of a fifteen year slump. Riding high on last year's State Championship, Charlie has everything planned out: finish the season with another state ring, get passing grades so he can make it into college on a football scholarship, and hook up with as many hot girls as he can in his senior year. Things he doesn't plan to do: fall in love.
Enter Elizabeth Von Batton into the equation and Charlie's entire world flips upside down. Cute, sarcastic, and shockingly witty, Elizabeth walks into the school and instantly makes a name for herself. But she's got skeletons in her closet, ones that she's not too keen on people finding out. With a personal vendetta against football players and everything they stand for, Elizabeth is utterly disgusted by Charlie's entire way of life.
But something keeps pulling them together, and that just might be football.
