The United Gridiron League.

She called him a mysterious sex god to his face. He said \"interesting\" and walked away. So begins the most mortifying, exhilarating, and devastating chapter of Lisa Jemison's carefully controlled life.

Lisa Jemison is the Outlaws' team nutritionist; steady, sharp, and allergic to vulnerability. She's the friend who gives the advice, never the one who needs it. She doesn't do feelings, doesn't do risk, and she definitely doesn't fall for closed-off athletes who communicate in sentence fragments and jaw clenches.

Nyx \"Kill Switch\" Blackwell is the most feared safety in the league; silent, guarded, and carrying wounds he won't let anyone see. He's spent his whole life learning to shut people out, building walls so high that no one gets close enough to find what's underneath. It's safer that way. For everyone.

When their slow-building connection ignites into something neither of them can deny, Lisa discovers that the man behind the walls is worth every risk she swore she'd never take. Nyx discovers that some people don't knock on your walls. They walk right through them. Now, Lisa must decide if she's willing to fight for a man who won't fight for himself, and Nyx must face the truth that protecting someone and losing them can be the same thing.

Forced Fumble is a grumpy/sunshine contemporary sports romance about healing, found family, and learning that the scariest thing in the world isn't falling. It's letting someone catch you. Book 3 in the Dallas Lonestar Outlaws series. Can be read as a standalone. Dual POV. HEA guaranteed. Spice level 4-4.5.
