ABOUT FIRST DOWN AND FOREVER TO GO
He's an outgoing pro-football player who has sworn off of a love. She's an introverted secret romance author hiding out after a major public faux pas. Can this pair of opposites come together to heal from past wounds, lay their secrets bare, and pave the way for a future full of laughter and love? Or is this Cinderella story destined for an unhappily ever after?
