Season 1 of Winning Hearts

***

Selena Roy knows her dream of becoming a journalist with the world's premiere sports network lies in their coveted internship. Her key to a standout submission? Jace Maxwell, superstar quarterback of the Oracle U Archers. Haunted by an injury that cost them a championship, Jace's dream of playing in the NFL hangs in the balance. Not only does his shoulder need rehab, but so does his image, so the two strike a mutually beneficial deal.

Where Selena is persistent, Jace looks to push buttons-and he finds Selena's button especially intriguing.

Through the highs and lows of the season, beneath glittering lights and long nights of practice, their undeniable chemistry leads to a red-hot attraction neither of them can resist. But as the pressure mounts and business and pleasure collide, the question arises: can they achieve their goals and be with each other? Or will ambition be their downfall, both on and off the field?
