Endzone Obsession: A dark, steamy BWWM football sports romance about a Black sports reporter and the scandal-stained white quarterback who can’t stop chasing her.

He’s the scandal-stained quarterback.
She’s the Black sideline reporter they tried to silence.
The only way out… is together.

Ari Brooks has worked twice as hard for half the credit. As one of the few Black women on national sports TV, she knows the stay sharp, stay calm, and never give them a reason to call you “angry” or “emotional.” But when a live broadcast, a sexist co-anchor, and one brutal, honest line about the team’s fallen star go viral, Ari is suddenly the story and every troll with a username is calling her everything but her name.

White golden-boy quarterback Cole Hartman used to be the league’s favorite. One bar-fight clip and a PR spin later, he’s “dangerous,” “out of control,” and one bad game away from being done. The only person who seems more hated than him? The Black woman on the sideline who refuses to smile pretty and read the script.

When Ari’s boss offers her a career-making “redemption” series soft-focus pieces to make Cole look safe and harmless she almost walks. Instead, she cuts a deal with take the assignment, tell the truth, and never fall for the man at the center of it.

Off the record in a dark tunnel and behind closed doors at a kids’ center he refuses to use for PR, Ari sees a different Cole obsessive about the game, quietly loyal, and way too focused on her. On camera they trade barbs and careful questions; off camera their chemistry runs hot and dangerous, blurring every line between reporter and source, career and desire.

But the deeper Ari digs, the uglier the truth gets.

Edited footage. Hush-money payments. An agent and an executive willing to tank Cole’s career and smear Ari’s name to protect their own money. Anonymous threats. A near “accident” in a parking garage that proves this isn’t just about clicks it’s about survival.

Cole has his own decision to sit down, be quiet, and take the suspension… or play through pain in one last, brutal game that keeps every camera on them while Ari hijacks the broadcast and burns the lie down in real time.

One final drive.
One live mic.
No more heroes and villains just two messy people telling the whole story.
