Welcome to the NFL.
The Seattle Knights have the hottest players in the game. On and off the field.
SECOND CHANCES
Logan Price is getting a second chance.
Claire Thornton is going to make sure it counts.
Logan Price was living his dream. After years of hard work he finally made it. Starting running back for the Knights.
After only a few games, he was a fan favorite. There were whispers of a … fan favorite. There were whispers of a rookie of the year award.
It all ended with a devastating injury to his leg that sent him back to Oklahoma. A failed attempt at a comeback sent him into a deep depression.
His life became about two things. Working at his father’s bar, and running. One filled his days. The other made getting through the endless nights a little easier.
When an old friend offers Logan a lifeline, he’s reluctant to grab hold. He could live without football–barely. But he didn’t think he could survive getting his hopes up only to lose it all again.
Claire Thornton’s dreams are just as big as Logan’s. She left the small town where she was born, to make something of herself. It hasn’t been easy. A woman with no money and no connections. Everything she has, she’s earned. Helping Logan Price get back to the NFL will prove to her detractors that she can be a trainer. She is determined to make it in a male-dominated world.
The attraction is instantaneous.
The reasons not to get involved too numerous to list.
It only takes one kiss–one touch–for them to realize if they want their dreams to come true they need more than luck. They need each other.

Claire and Logan’s story made me smile so hard!
There is so much love and tenderness between these two, so much respect and caring that I felt all warm and fuzzy while reading. This story is heartwarming and just wonderful. There are some serious bumps along the way, including some scary moments, but in the end their struggle is so worth it
A wonderful story about love at first sight and about second chances in life! I . LOVED . IT !
Logan Price was walking on cloud nine, he was finally achieving his dream of being a running back in the NFL, and was doing quite well at it too, well enough to possibly earn himself a rookie of the year award. But everything in his life came to a screeching halt when he suffered a sidelining knee injury and it took him out of the game for a while, requiring him to have surgery and hours of physical therapy. He hoped to be able to return after he was healed, but that plan didn’t pan out so well, so he heads back home to Denville, Oklahoma to run his father’s bar. He spends his days trying to muddle through his depression, and finds some relief in running and trying to keep himself in shape, but as much as he tries to hide it, his friends see the disappointment, and want to help. A former teammate encourages him to take another crack at his football dream, and lines him up with a trainer to get him back into prime shape, and hopefully back onto the field. The minute he meets Claire, his trainer, he falls hard for her, but he knows it’s a line he just can’t afford to cross…
Claire Thornton left her small town life behind, for a chance at her dream job in the big leagues, but so far nothing seems to be panning out. That is until she gets the chance of a lifetime helping former NFL star Logan Price get back into playing shape. If she can accomplish this task, and help him get a starting spot with the team again, then it could open a lot of doors for her, doors that could get her that much closer to her dream! But the minute she meets Logan she finds herself smitten with him, but she knows acting on her attraction for him would completely derail her dream, so she tries her best to deny the lingering attraction that is between them…
This was my first time reading a book by this author and I have to say that it turned out to be quite a memorable first read. This story pulled me in almost instantly and had me flying right through pages to see if Claire and Logan would find the happily ever after that they both deserved, and I am happy to report I found that and so much more!! Both characters had a deep appreciation for one another, and I think that coupled with the ineventive story line really drew me in, and helped maintain my interest the whole way through! I highly recommend you add this one to your reading list, it is sure to leave you with a happy heart and wanting to come back for more!!
