All youâll ever be is a pretty face.
Star running back Bruce âBruiserâ Mackey has heard those words his entire life, especially after his twin brotherâs tragic accident. He might use his surfer-boy good looks to land lucrative endorsements for his secret charity, but he hates books being judged by their covers. Which is why itâs wrong that his friend Mackenzie Hernandez is intent on giving herself a makeover.
Sure, Mac and her father have been reeling financially since her brother disappeared three years ago, and Steelheads management gives an annual scholarship that might get her life back on track, but he canât imagine anyone smarter, sexier, or more beautiful than Mac already is. He canât keep his hands off herâand the more they spend time together, the less he wants to. Sheâs perfect as is.
One way or another, heâll make sure the teamâs tomboy groundskeeper gets a full ride. And between the two of them, they can learn to accept whatâs behind them and look downfield to a future full of win.
