Tackling The Running Back

A Teammate's Sister New Adult Sports Romance

De: Zoë Lane

I can take any hit—except the one that comes from falling for my quarterback’s little sister.

I’m Sean Miller, the Richmond Rhinos’ first-string running back—Heisman winner, hometown hero, and the guy the news loves to parade in front of the Boys & Girls Club like I’m proof the south side can produce miracles.

And that’s the problem.

I’m not a miracle. I’m a man with a mission: keep my head down, keep winning, and keep the woman who raised me safe.

Then I see her.

Lacey Gallagher—my quarterback’s little sister—pushing a janitor cart through Rhinos HQ at four in the morning, doing community service like it’s her penance for being born into the wrong family and making one spectacular mistake.

She’s all sharp edges and haunted eyes. Says she’s “damaged” like it’s a joke… but I can taste the truth underneath it.

And she owes me a lap dance.

Yeah. That kind of trouble.

It should be simple: flirt, forget, focus on football.

Except I can’t forget the way she looks at me like I’m the only solid thing in her spinning world. Like I might actually be safe to want. And when she falls apart in my arms, I realize I’m already in too deep.

Because Landyn Gallagher doesn’t just hate me—he’ll burn down the whole locker room to keep me away from his sister.

And someone from my past wants me to throw games… with a promise of money and a threat of injury if I refuse.

So now I’m running two plays at once:

One to get the Rhinos to the playoffs.

One to keep Lacey from getting hurt—by her demons, by her brother’s war, and by the kind of men who don’t take no for an answer.

I can handle hits on the field.

But falling for the one girl I shouldn’t touch?

That might be the play that costs me everything.

TACKLING THE RUNNING BACK is a new adult sports romance packed with forbidden attraction, teammate’s sister, star-crossed tension, hurt/comfort, he falls first, and high-stakes pressure on—and off—the field.
