The Fury of Love

Jarett Mitchell has everything the star quarterback for the Cincinnati Fury could want-fame, money, and a revolving door of women. But after a crushing conference championship loss and a very public breakup that makes him social media's latest headline, he's forced to admit that the playboy lifestyle isn't as fulfilling as what it appears. Beneath the headlines is a man who'd rather have Thai takeout and a rom-com than another meaningless date. The only problem? Convincing anyone to see the real him.

Eighth-grade English teacher Annie Thompson is done with relationships. After escaping a disastrous long-term relationship, she's embracing an easier and quieter lifestyle focused entirely on herself, and filled with knitting, vinyl records, girlfriends, and lesson plans. Men are officially off the syllabus. 

Until she meets Jarrett.

Their attraction is instant, undeniable, and inconvenient. Annie isn't looking for a relationship and Jarrett is trying to outrun a reputation he earned. Add in lingering exes, bad timing, and plenty of reasons to walk away, suddenly falling in love seems like the riskiest play either of them could make. 

Can they let go of who they were supposed to be long enough to find the happily ever after they never saw coming?
