With a family on the line,
he refuses to fumble again.

When former football star Mike Cook returns to Tumbleweed, Texas, to coach the high school football team, he doesn’t expect to be reunited with the woman he left behind. Single mom Kayla Stewart never thought she would see Mike again, much less become his teaching mentor. But when she witnesses his genuine compassion for his students and his growing bond with her daughter, Emma, Kayla knows she can’t keep her secret forever. As old wounds resurface, Mike must prove he can keep Kayla’s heart safe—or risk losing the family he never knew he had.
