From the New York Times bestselling author of Forever My Girl: The Motion Picture, Heidi McLaughlin delivers a contemporary romance that will leave you dancing in the end zone!

Autumn LaRosa has been playing defense since the moment she met Julius Cunningham. After accepting a position as a meteorologist in Portland, she strives to make a good first impression. Then she meets the arrogant wide receiver who belittles her in front of her new friends. She could have walked off the sting of his bitter words, but he keeps showing up in her social circle.

Now, she is determined to meet him at the line of scrimmage and prove she’s not one to back down.

Julius Cunningham is well aware there’s a flag on the play after his harsh words to Autumn. The more he sees of Portland’s new weather girl, the clearer it becomes his judgments of her were unfounded.

But how can he call a timeout on the animosity he created?

When Autumn attends a charity event with the Pioneer players, she sees an opportunity too tempting to resist. Julius looks miserable being a part of the date auction, making it even more fun for Autumn to bid. Will she use the opportunity for some good old-fashioned payback? Or will this be their fresh start at the twenty-yard line?

Get ready for the snap and sprint for the end zone because Autumn and Julius are headed for either a tackle or a touchdown!

Fans of the author's Beaumont series will not be disappointed by this new spin off.  we all ahve watched Peyton and Noah grow up.  This series will follow them in Portland with a whole new set of characters. Yes--we get to meet and play with Noah's teammates on his NFL team.  BUT--we also are catching up with Noah, Peyton and all the Beaumont bunch as we go along.  Loved all of that! 

This is Noah's good friend and wide receiver for the Portland Pioneers, Julius' story.  He and Autumn get off on all the wrong feet but this enemies to lovers romance will bring a smile to your face in no time.  First off, Julius is a newling single dad and despite all that, he mosting has his act together.  His ex is a piece of work and causes a fair bit of tension in the story. 

Autumn is breath of fresh air. She is a professional, she balances her work and play time well and she knows what she wants long term.  I loved watching her adjust to her new life in Portland. Great girlfriend moments throughout the book. 

I liked this couple together.  Great romantic read.  Perfect intro to the team and what may be coming up next.  Loved it!
