She's everything I can't have-and everything I can't resist. I'm the NFL's most eligible receiver, but I can't catch a break when it comes to love. At least, that was true until Gina Rodrigo walked into the room and everything else disappeared. Which is a problem, because I've spent three years making sure nothing gets past my defenses. As the LA Wolves' top receiver, I'm used to dodging tackles. But dodging my feelings for Gina? That's a whole different game. She's everything I'm not-warm, open, full of life. When she moves to LA, my resolve crumbles faster than our opponents' defense. One kiss leads to another, and suddenly I'm breaking all my carefully constructed rules. But my guilt over my past threatens to destroy everything. Now I have to decide: keep pushing her away, or fight for the woman who's become my endzone? Across the Middle is a steamy second chance at love sports romance. It is book 2 in the LA Wolves Football series, but can be read as a standalone.
