The pregnancy was unexpected. The quarterback who arrived with prenatal vitamins, snacks, and a plan was even more unexpected.
I should have kept my hands - and mouth - off Nolan Allen.
But the star quarterback's blue eyes, cocky grin, and broad shoulders were impossible to resist. One reckless encounter left me with a positive pregnancy test and questioning everything I thought I wanted.
Most men would panic. Nolan starts researching prenatal vitamins.
Suddenly he's attending every doctor's appointment, taking notes like he's studying for the biggest game of his life, and bringing me more snacks than a football team possibly could eat in a season.
But I've spent my entire life watching people leave. No matter how much I want to believe in Nolan, I can't shake the fear that one day he'll do the same.
Too bad the stubborn quarterback refuses to stay on the sidelines.
Playing It Forward is a spicy small-town sports romance featuring surprise pregnancy, football chaos, meddling teammates, a fiercely independent heroine, and a caretaker quarterback who has already decided they're a family.
Training camp brings all the Steel City Seals to Smuggler's Hideaway at once, which means overlapping timelines, familiar faces, and football-player chaos. Read in any order.
