Ace Townsend is the next QB1, loves the attention he gets from that title, and isn’t ashamed of it. Ruby is smart, funny, and the one that is going to make Ace fall hard. When they first meet Ruby is just looking for a good time and she knows Ace could be what she is looking for until he does something that leaves a bad taste in her mouth.

Months later Ruby is enrolled into CU finding her way looking for a connection with anyone and Ace hasn’t forgotten about her. When these are together the heat scorches the pages, but with things standing in their way makes anything between them forbidden. She works for the football team’s social media group and he is the quarterback, her contract says no dating athletes, but the tension between them is palpable. Ace absolutely falls head first even if it takes him some time to see that’s what is happening to him and Ruby keeps fighting it even though she feels the pull he does, but what happens when their connection can’t stand any more pull? Will Ruby throw caution to the wind and give Ace the chance to be hers or will she keep him at arm’s length?

Such a fun story filled with angst and emotions that have you pulling for Ace even if you want to smack him upside the head a few times too. Also, I am probably the only one but I wanted smack Derek a few times too with all his negativity and outlook on things, lol. Their banter is on point, the steam is off the charts, but too much threatens what they could have.

“I have a feeling we’d be so d**n good together.Like we have the potential to burn down the world, if she’d just let me show her.” ( )
