Rock City Renegades Series by C.L. Rose

Maddox. I’ve never been anything but the underdog. No matter how hard I worked, I was always good enough to be someone’s backup but nothing more. I thought being drafted by Cleveland’s brand-new expansion team would be a fresh start.

I’ve never been anything but the underdog. No matter how hard I worked, I was always good enough to be someone’s backup but nothing more. I thought being drafted by Cleveland’s brand-new expansion team would be a fresh start. But when I find myself taking the snaps, it becomes painfully clear that I need some extra help—in the form of secret meetups with the owner’s daughter. Livvy Grant is everything a guy like me could want—smart, beautiful, and knows the game of football better than anyone. But what happens when our midnight coaching sessions move from the field to the bedroom? Can we keep our heads in the game, or will we lose everything we’ve worked for? Livvy. I can’t remember a time when I didn’t want to be a football coach. But when my dad decided to buy the city’s new professional team, every hope and dream I had for my life was pushed aside to focus on my family’s legacy. As the heir apparent of the Rock City Renegades, I’m expected to learn everything it takes to run a winning franchise. So, when I see that our new quarterback needs some work, who better than me to whip him into shape? Maddox Dane is a diamond in the rough, but when our professional relationship evolves into something more, I find myself scrambling to make the right play with the future of my team at risk. less

EMMETTFrom the moment I met Stella Wilder on the first day of kindergarten, I knew she’d be a part of me forever. We were inseparable, slowly falling for one another more with each passing year. The summer before we went to college on opposite sides of the country, she made me the happiest man alive by agreeing to be my wife. But it wasn’t long before it all fell apart... moreEMMETTFrom the moment I met Stella Wilder on the first day of kindergarten, I knew she’d be a part of me forever. We were inseparable, slowly falling for one another more with each passing year. The summer before we went to college on opposite sides of the country, she made me the happiest man alive by agreeing to be my wife. But it wasn’t long before it all fell apart. It’s been over seven years, and just when I think I’ve finally found my place with Cleveland’s brand-new football team, she crashes back into my life and turns everything upside down. STELLAWhen I was a teenager, I couldn’t imagine my life without Emmett Hayes. I had everything planned—get married, go to nursing school while he made his football dreams a reality, and live happily ever after. But I was young and dumb, letting a small seed of doubt grow until it led me to make the biggest mistake of my life. Not a day has gone by that I haven’t thought about what could’ve been. But when fate puts his injured teammate in my care, I’m forced to face the reality of what I lost. Has the time apart closed the door on our happy ending—or is there still a chance to make it right? less

Theo. Since I was a kid, I’ve only wanted two things: to be a professional football player and to have a family of my own. Being drafted by the Rock City Renegades was the first step, but now I’m ready for the rest. I have the house and the rescue dog, who’s proven to be a bit of a menace for everyone other than my crush, Finley Bolton.

Since I was a kid, I’ve only wanted two things: to be a professional football player and to have a family of my own. Being drafted by the Rock City Renegades was the first step, but now I’m ready for the rest. I have the house and the rescue dog, who’s proven to be a bit of a menace for everyone other than my crush, Finley Bolton. So when I find myself needing someone to watch him while I’m away, moving her in is the most logical option. She may be pregnant by another man, but it doesn’t take long for her and the baby to etch their names into my heart. I want a life with them, but will I be able to break down Finley’s walls and prove that I can be the man she needs, or will she pack up and obliterate every dream I’ve ever had? Finley. Getting pregnant by my casual hookup wasn’t on my bingo card for the year, but that’s exactly what happened. He’s made it crystal clear that he doesn’t want anything to do with us, which leaves me scrambling to pay for everything on my own. So, when Theo Calloway asks me to dog sit after I’m unexpectedly fired from my job, I have no choice but to take him up on the offer. Right away, he begins caring for me, blurring the lines between friendship and something more. I said I wouldn’t catch feelings—sure that I’d be better on my own. But when he steps up, showing me what my baby and I deserve, will I be able to move on and protect myself from the heartbreak I’m so used to? less
