Some wallflowers are too beautiful to hide in the shadows forever.

After growing up in the shadow of her vivacious sister, Layla Jenson believed she'd never measured up, preferring to live a quiet existence, dreaming of true love while watching life pass her by.

When a member of her college football team suddenly asks her out, Layla is stunned but also hopeful. Maybe being the awkward girl who struggles socially is an endearing quality after all?

Watching Layla date his teammate is a problem for Ethan Miller. Athletic and outgoing, he's been best friends with Layla since childhood. He is the one person who sees her—who has always seen her. And as the stakes in the game change, Ethan is forced to face his feelings.

He's left with a single choice—admit he's in love with his best friend, or stand back and possibly lose her forever.
