Hart's Secret Play

Grace Winters has a special gift that makes her teammates and classmates praise her abilities, but what happens when someone grows jealous of her success.

As the daughter of a renowned quarterback, Grace Winters knows her way around a football field, and can write plays in her sleep. Not only that, but she's observant and can pick up on the shortcomings of her team's opponents, which she attacks with cold efficiency. However, due to a heartbreaking tragedy, she never helps her team, the Tigers, destroy the enemy. Besides, a close game makes it more interesting for the audience.

Cord Hart is the rival quarterback, who overheard a drunk Maddox, Grace's cousin, admit she was their secret weapon. Curious, he followed Grace to her sanctuary, seeking employment. Creating plays for football is not Grace's only talent. Baking helps her relieve stress and brings her joy, so she works at her aunt's bakery after school.

When the rival quarterback shows up as a new hire, Grace is a bit suspicious but doesn't buy too far into high school rivalry. Cord swears he only needs a job. Is he telling the truth, or does the charming enemy have nefarious intentions? And, if he were to have a cruel plan under his belt, can Grace win him over before he puts it into motion?

This story is one of my pet projects. Meaning, I have a few chapters since I've worked on it instead of what I meant to because inspiration struck. So, I make no promises about when it will be uploaded. But, I hope you enjoy it!
