When a headstrong football player and a fiery young kinesthesiologist are forced to work together-despite the fact that they can't even stand to look at one another-sparks will either fly, or burn everything down around them.

Maverick Parker is the last person Bailey Nicholson would ever fall for. Even if it weren't for his rivalry with her younger brother Sam, the hotheaded star player would still get on her last nerve-even if he sets that nerve aflame in the process. But when the two find themselves unable to tear themselves away from each other, upending everything they'd thought they wanted, it's anyone's game-and they're both playing to win.

As they wrestle with deep-seated insecurities, family secrets, and an enemies-with-benefits relationship that is quickly becoming something more, Bailey and Maverick will need to learn to trust each other on and off the field and fight for what they have, or risk fumbling a love that's worth everything.
