When I make the cheerleading team for Seattle’s pro football organization, there are many rules.
Most notably?
Stay away from the football players.
Everyone on my squad takes that warning to heart.
I, on the other hand, take it as a challenge.
Especially after I meet Braden Lock.
With his easy smile, endless patience, and heart-of-gold reputation, the star receiver is everything I’m not — soft where I’m sharp, steady where I’m mayhem. Braden Lock has always played by the rules.
Unfortunately for him, I’m very good at breaking them.
And after one unexpected turn of events leaves me spiraling, I convince the league’s golden boy to indulge in one very forbidden distraction: me.
What starts as secret hookups and harmless fun quickly turns into something far more dangerous — because the more time we spend sneaking around behind closed doors, the harder it becomes to pretend we’re not already in too deep.
But our organization has one ironclad rule: players and cheerleaders are strictly off limits. If anyone finds out about us, Braden’s contract — and my spot on the squad — could disappear overnight.
We knew the risks of our illegal formation. We just didn’t realize the real danger wasn’t getting caught.
It was how badly we’d destroy ourselves trying to hold on.

Braden is a wide receiver for the Seattle Seahawks, and he is determined to succeed as his family is counting on him. When Emily becomes a cheerleader he is drawn to her fun and flirty personality as those are in short supply in his life. He knows that he should keep his distance as getting personally involved could end both their careers however she is a force of nature that draws him in.
Emily is still trying to find her place in life, and she is hoping that becoming a cheerleader will give her the fulfillment she is looking for. She can’t help but try to get a reaction from Braden every time they see each other and show him that there is more to his life than responsibilities.
The chemistry and connection between them was unparalleled, the banter humorous and the way they support each other with everything they are going through is heartwarming especially when it comes to the turmoil they are both experiencing when it comes to their families. Aaron Donahue and Audrey Obeyn were the perfect choices for Braden and Emily as you could feel every emotion as well as the bond the characters shared.
