He’s chasing touchdowns. She’s aiming for the stars. Love wasn’t supposed to be part of their game plan.
Tessa Samworth has a plan: graduate, land her dream job at Space-X, and leave her small college town behind. Cooper Nash, the star quarterback destined for the NFL, has his future mapped out, too—and it definitely doesn’t include getting distracted by a stubborn, brilliant tutor who sees right through his charm.

When an unexpected tutoring arrangement sparks explosive chemistry, rules are made: No strings. No feelings. Just fun. But the more Tessa sees behind Heath’s confident grin, the harder it is to keep her heart safely benched. And the more Heath discovers her sharp wit and soft heart beneath that guarded exterior, the harder it becomes to pretend he can live without her.

With graduation looming and dreams pulling them to opposite coasts, they must choose: play it safe and let go, or risk everything—including their hearts—for a chance at forever.

A passionate, heartfelt romance about love, dreams, and finding the courage to rewrite your future.
