Out Of Bounds Series by Erin MacKenzie

Football has been the only constant thing in my life for the last twenty years. Everything I've worked for my whole life has gotten me to this point - playing for Tampa Bay in the NFL as a starting Tight End. I'm not focused on anything other than doing my job for my team; it's everything I've ever wanted. That is, until I meet my teammates little sister. She's smart and funny and drop dead gorgeous, but she's girlfriend material and I haven't had a girlfriend in over five years... moreFootball has been the only constant thing in my life for the last twenty years. Everything I've worked for my whole life has gotten me to this point - playing for Tampa Bay in the NFL as a starting Tight End. I'm not focused on anything other than doing my job for my team; it's everything I've ever wanted. That is, until I meet my teammates little sister. She's smart and funny and drop dead gorgeous, but she's girlfriend material and I haven't had a girlfriend in over five years. Every instinct in me tells me to back away, but the more I get to know her, the more everything about her draws me in. I know she's off limits - her brother has made that very clear, but somehow that makes the tension between us even more irresistible. I'm finding myself willing to risk everything for her, if only she'd cross the line with me. less

Liam Evans always gets what he wants. Or so it seems. Quarterback for the Knights and a personality able to charm anyone--he's never had much to complain about. But it's easy to hide behind an infectious smile and witty sense of humor masking sleepless nights and unhealed generational trauma. Bad days aren't allowed and feelings aren't meant to be expressed--at least that's what he's always been told... moreLiam Evans always gets what he wants. Or so it seems. Quarterback for the Knights and a personality able to charm anyone--he's never had much to complain about. But it's easy to hide behind an infectious smile and witty sense of humor masking sleepless nights and unhealed generational trauma. Bad days aren't allowed and feelings aren't meant to be expressed--at least that's what he's always been told. The one feeling Liam never has trouble expressing though? His long time crush on the Knights sideline reporter, Demi Sanchez. She's confident, independent and has worked hard in the world of sports, with more goals still to be met. But when her world flips upside down and her divorce is finalized, she finds unexpected peace and comfort with the hot shot quarterback when their personal lives intertwine. Causing her to question everything she thought she knew. Will Liam's shiny personality be the spark that Demi needs again in her life? And will Demi's ability to weather storms help Liam see that showing vulnerability is a strength, not a weakness? Maybe they're exactly what each other needs. less
