When Sparks Ignite

Emmaline Buchanan was the golden girl-the bright, happy cheerleader everyone adored. But when she reports the football coach who groomed and assaulted her, her world implodes. Overnight, she goes from beloved to pariah, the town turning against her in whispers and stares.

Colton Hartwell has his own ghosts. With a father in prison for a bar fight turned deadly, Colton spends his days grinding away at the mechanic shop and nights sweating it out on the football field, determined to prove he's nothing like the man who shares his blood.

Their lives collide-literally-when a botched football pass leaves Emmaline with a bloody nose and Colton with a reason to finally face her. What starts as an accidental meeting blooms into a connection neither of them expected. For the first time, they see past each other's reputations to the pain they're both hiding.

But not everyone is happy about their bond. When two teammates take their disapproval too far, Emmaline and Colton find themselves both in danger. As tensions boil over, they'll have to decide if standing together is worth the price they'll pay.
