About This Book
When a data scientist who builds algorithms to find her perfect match suddenly inherits part ownership of a professional football team, her carefully calculated world collides with everything she never planned for — including the injured quarterback assigned to teach her the game. Vi Keeland takes a premise that could easily tip into farce and plays it straight, letting the tension build through proximity, reluctant attraction, and the slow unraveling of two people who think they have themselves figured out.
What distinguishes this from standard sports romance is Keeland's knack for witty, grounded narration. The heroine's voice is sharp and self-aware without being cutesy, and the push-pull between her analytical instincts and her growing feelings gives the story genuine momentum. Keeland structures the slow burn carefully — each scene earns the next — so by the time the stakes shift from romantic to emotional, readers are already invested. At 359 pages, it moves fast and rewards the kind of reading you do in one long sitting, the kind where you keep telling yourself just one more chapter.
