Game Over
Bella North
My football days might be over. But the game is just beginning…
After an injury knocks me out of the game I love for good, I have no idea what comes next for me. Until I wake up with a shameful hangover, the sound of hooves outside, and a tougher-than-nails, sexy-as-hell ranch hand with a scowl the size of Texas banging on my door. Apparently, I accidentally bought all her granddad’s horses last night…
Her contempt tells me everything I need to know. I don’t have the faintest clue how to be a rancher. But our ranch has been empty since my dad died and I’ve never been one to step down from a challenge.
Plus, if the horses are here to stay, then so is Izzy. As much as I live to spark the fiery, competitive glint in her blue eyes, I still want to impress her—in more ways than one… Proving myself with the horses is one way to do it, but so is showing her just what else my hands are good for, and silencing her sassy mouth with my own…
But when a chance to rejoin the world of football comes calling, I see the cautious hope in Izzy’s eyes flicker. I know she’s wondering if I’m going to abandon the ranch, and her doubt breaks my heart. Can I finally accept that the game I once loved is over, and a new one is just beginning…?
Game Over is a steamy but heartfelt enemies-to-lovers cowboy and sports romance, perfect for fans of Elsie Silver, Stephanie Archer and Liz Tomforde. The second in the Oakwood Ranch series, it can also be read as a standalone.
