She's done watching the star quarterback from the sidelines.

TyAnne Daws has had a crush on Anthony "Rocket" Rogers since the first time she saw him throw a football. Landing herself in one of his classes is the easy part. All she has to do to win his heart is stick to the game plan: be confident, be cool, and give everything she's got in this Hail-Mary play.

But the real Anthony is way more than a highlight reel. He's thoughtful. Private. A little broken. And not at all interested in a relationship.

He's got his guard up, and her heart's on the line. If she doesn't play this just right, she might lose more than the game-she might lose him.

They call him Rocket for a reason-fast on the field, faster at leaving heartbreak behind.

Anthony Rogers has rules: Keep it casual. Keep it light. Keep his heart out of it.

Then TyAnne Daws walks into my life with her wide eyes, ridiculous football trivia, and this quiet strength that completely floors him. He tries to keep his distance. She deserves more than a guy still haunted by his past. But every time he thinks he's got her out of his head, she pulls him right back in.

She's not just another fan. She sees the parts of him he keeps hidden-and she still stays. But love? That's not in his playbook.

Not anymore.

Until he realizes the only way to win is to risk everything. And this time, he's playing for keeps.

Playing for Keeps is a sweet, sports romance with Christian elements.
