Second Quarter Comeback is a swoony, hilarious second-chance romance featuring a sarcastic doctor—who's a cooter coach—a cocky quarterback, and a past that refuses to stay in the locker room.

The universe must have a sick sense of humor.

Fourteen years ago, Killion Crawford broke my heart like it was just another move in his playbook. One minute, I was his everything; the next, he was calling an audible and choosing football over me. Fine. Whatever. I moved on, built my career, and swore off quarterbacks for good.

Now, thanks to a cruel twist of fate (or maybe just my own terrible luck), I'm living next door to him in New York. Killion, of course, is still infuriatingly charming, ridiculously good-looking, and somehow even better at worming his way under my skin than he was back in college.

He swears we have unfinished business. That we should "go for it in the second half."

I swear I'm not playing this game again.

But between our accidental run-ins, our very loud balcony arguments, and the world's most manipulative kitten (how dare he choose him over me?), avoiding Killion is all but impossible. And the worst part? I'm starting to wonder if maybe—just maybe—he's right.
