Lauren Polkowski has always been a fighter. As the first woman to play professional football, she carries history on her shoulders every time she steps on the field. Fans call her a trailblazer. Critics wait for her to fail. Under the spotlight, she's learned to be strong, sharp, and unshakable. But off the field, the silence of loneliness hits harder than any tackle.
Then a chance meeting with a lively blonde cheerleader changes everything. What begins as a spark quickly grows into something she can't ignore. For the first time, Lauren feels the pull of desire she's long kept buried. But there's one problem the cheerleader's boyfriend, a possessive quarterback, won't let go of his pride or the control he thinks he owns.
Risking her career and her heart could cost Lauren everything she's fought for. Yet turning away might mean losing the one chance at happiness she's ever had.
Will she walk off the field alone or fight for love as fiercely as the game?
