✦ Synopsis
A benchwarmer?
Nope, Teddy Hayes can really start her up!
Second-string. That’s been Ellie Wilde’s position in life.
The daughter of a superstar quarterback and his model wife, Ellie could have been beautiful, tough, desirable—a winner, just like her parents.
It didn’t quite work out that way, but she’s satisfied with things as they are. She has a great job with a professional football team…which would be perfect, except that she’s a really just a gofer with her office in a janitor’s closet. She has a great boyfriend…or he would be, if he was aware of her existence, and wasn’t just the object of her 10-year, secret crush.
Yeah. There are a few issues, but Ellie doesn’t dwell.
Her life takes a definite turn when she meets Teddy Hayes, recently promoted to play on her team as the backup quarterback. He’s gorgeous, funny, and struggling. He has the opportunity of a lifetime to play in the pros, but he’s messing it up, and his personal life isn’t much better. Maybe Ellie can help him, both on and off the field, and maybe he can do the same for her…
Maybe both these benchwarmers can step up to the big time and score—together.
