Talia Morgan wasn't supposed to be here-not on this field, not in this uniform, and definitely not calling plays for one of the most competitive college football teams in the country. But she didn't come to Eastbridge University to play it safe. She came to win.
Bryce Maddox has always been the star, the face of the team, the golden arm. He's used to control, to loyalty, to being number one. But when Talia steps onto his turf with undeniable talent and something to prove, everything shifts-including the ground beneath his own confidence.
Thrown together by a coach who believes pressure creates diamonds, Bryce and Talia are forced to share reps, lead the same team, and pretend their growing tension isn't affecting their game. Every pass, every huddle, every mistake puts them closer to a decision neither of them are ready to face.
This isn't just about football anymore. It's about pride, trust, and the one person who just might understand what it feels like to carry the weight of everyone else's expectations.
In a world where one wrong move can cost everything, can two rivals find common ground before the clock runs out?
