Will
Football was always simple—follow the playbook, make the sacrifice, win the game.
I lived by that rule for decades, and it cost me everything. My marriage. My daughter.
By ten, she believed I loved the game more than her. Now she’s back in my life—with a family of her own—I fight every day to show her I’ve changed.
Then I fumble it all by falling for her best friend.
Amanda is strong, stubborn, and raising her daughter alone after her husband’s betrayal.
One kiss becomes something neither of us can ignore.
She wants to keep it secret. I don’t.
Because this time, I’m willing to risk the play. I won’t lose my second chance at love.
Amanda
I always knew I wanted to be a mother. I just never planned on doing it alone.
But when my ex got his assistant pregnant, I stopped, waiting for the life I thought I’d have—and choose motherhood for myself.
Now I’m a single mom doing my best to build a quiet, steady life with no drama and no risks.
Until my best friend’s father becomes the one risk I can’t resist.
Coach Warner is disciplined, respected… and completely off limits.
Watching him fight for his daughter only makes falling for him more dangerous.
We tell ourselves it’s just once.
But one reckless kiss turns into a night we can’t take back—and a secret we definitely can’t afford to keep.
Because if we’re discovered, I could lose my best friend…
And he could lose his daughter all over again.
Falling for me was never part of his playbook.

REVIEW
4 Stars
This is the last book in the series. I can't believe it's coming to an end. I really loved this group so much. It's finally Coach Warner's turn. Will deserves a HEA of his own. It brought me heart so much joy to see him reconnect with his daughter. Don't even get me started when he is Papa mode with his little granddaughter. That just melted my heart. Another person who deserves a HEA and all the happiness is Amanda. Life hasn't been the kindest to her. She is now a single mom to the most precious little girl and has the best support system with her best friend and her found family. There is still that missing piece to make her family whole. Will never thought he would have a chance at love again, but his daughter's best friend changes everything. Will is so good with Amanda's little girl Mia. Those scenes are so adorable. A relationship between them could cost them everything, but you can't deny they have something so special. I couldn't have asked for a better way to the end this series. This was a wonderful cast of characters. It made my heart happy to where they all are in life.
