First and Tension

Summary

Emily Flanagan has been living her dreams the last four years as a professional cheerleader for the Los Angeles Vipers, thousands of miles away from her tiny hometown of Summersweet Island, Virginia. She's got the world at the tips of her pom-poms . . . until she tells her boss to shove those pom-poms where the sun doesn't shine.

After spending her last night in California with her crush, Emily flies back home to Summersweet, resigned to run her parents' business, never to be heard from again. Besides, there's no use crying over a man who lives on the other side of the country, who she'll never see again.

Quinn Bagley is finally playing for a team that feels like a family, after years of playing with nothing but egos. What he's not happy about is that the woman who rocked his world turned out to be like every other crazy redhead he's encountered, wanting to use him for something. He just wants her to admit it was a game.

Except Emily Flanagan isn't the hotheaded, rude woman he thought. She's sweet, sexy, and fun. She makes him feel normal, she makes him laugh, and she makes him want more.

He's going to win her heart, even if he has to do it in overtime.

Contains mature themes.
