A Small Town YA Contemporary Romance

Some lines should never be crossed. Until they are.

Alex Torres lives by rules. Win the game. Protect the legacy. Never lose focus. As Ridgeway’s golden boy quarterback, he carries a town’s expectations on his shoulders and a father who demands perfection breathing down his neck. There is no room in his world for distractions.

Then there is Emily Wilson. The chaotic, combat-boot-wearing flute captain from rival Northgate High who believes football is just physics with extra bruises. She is everything Alex is not. Loud where he is quiet. Art where he is order. And absolutely off limits.

When a forced leadership project strands them together, their rivalry cracks in the quiet of a small diner booth. Between vanilla milkshakes and late night arguments about wind resistance, Alex finds someone who sees the boy under the helmet. Emily finds someone who listens, really listens, for the first time.

But Trinity Valley has long memories, and crossing enemy lines comes with consequences. With scouts watching and the state championship approaching, Alex’s father makes his terms clear: end things with Emily or watch her future burn.

To save her, Alex shatters her heart. To survive the fallout, Emily buries hers.

Now the clock is running out. One final game. One impossible choice. And one chance for Alex to prove he is more than a trophy carved from pressure and expectation. Because some victories are worth everything, even if they never make it to the scoreboard.
