Nava Wells has spent her whole life waking before the sun, carrying a family that never carried her back. With an alcoholic mother, an absent father, and twin siblings she practically raised, she's learned that strength is something you build with blistered hands and a bruised heart. Leaving home for a powerhouse football university in Oklahoma isn't freedom it's survival. It's her chance to finally become someone more than the girl who held everyone else together.
Griffin Dal is the opposite of everything she knows wealthy, adored, the star of the state's biggest football program. To everyone else, he's unstoppable. Untouchable. The golden boy destined for glory. But behind the spotlight is a secret that eats at him every day... a truth only his family knows, one that destroyed his brother's life and left Griffin drowning in guilt he can't outrun.
When Nava becomes a photographer for the university's media team, their worlds collide. She sees him through a lens that strips away the fame and the façade. And he sees her-really sees her in a way no one ever has. What begins as cautious curiosity turns into a magnetic pull neither of them can ignore.
But Griffin already has a girlfriend who holds him like a trophy and guards him like he's hers to control. And Nava knows better than to fall for someone wrapped in secrets. Still, they keep circling each other dangerously close, irresistibly pulled, their connection sharp as barbed wire and twice as addictive.
As the pressure of football, family expectations, and buried trauma builds, both Nava and Griffin must confront the cycles they were born into: loyalty that hurts, love that scars, and choices that cut deeper than any blade. Together, they might break those patterns... or shatter each other in the process.
Dark, tense, emotional, and electric with chemistry, Grit & Glory is a story of two broken people learning that sometimes the most dangerous thing you can do is love someone enough to let them see the truth.
