The 80-Yard Club: Book 2 - The Grind

One Kick Can Change Everything

De: Tim Christmann

Year Two. Unfinished business. And a body held together by sheer will.

Zack Bach proved he belonged. Twenty-six field goals from 80-plus yards. A 92-yard kick that will live forever. A conference championship appearance that ended one game short of glory.

Now comes the hard part.

His knee is wrecked—surgery bought him time, but the doctors say he has two years of elite performance left—maybe less. Every kick brings him closer to the end. And the enemies he made in Year One aren't going away.

League owners want the 80-yard rule eliminated. Rival kickers want him humbled. The media wants drama. And somewhere in Dallas, Dante Cruz is waiting for a rematch.

But Zack has something he didn't have before: Alex Kellerman. The owner's daughter, who ended her engagement because watching him refuse to quit made her want to be braver. Their relationship is secret, complicated, and the one thing that keeps him grounded as everything else falls apart.

As the season grinds on, Zack faces impossible choices. How much pain can one body take? How many people is he willing to disappoint? And when the moment comes—when everything he's worked for hangs on a single kick—will his leg hold, or will it finally betray him?

THE GRIND is the heart-pounding second book in The 80-Yard Club series. It's about what happens after the fairy tale—when the miracle becomes a job, the body becomes an enemy, and the only way forward is through.

For fans who love sports stories with heart, romance with stakes, and characters who never quit.
