40-Yard Line by Mary Kennedy

It’s not often that the team meets a man who could easily overpower them. Bigger, stronger, and looking to find the person who murdered his teammate, New Orleans Fire center, Trevon Marks, is asking for the help of the team. But not everything is as it seems. Football should be a game, an occupation for some, but not a death sentence. The world of semi-pro football is not something the team has explored before. They hope they never have to again. Dirty, cut-throat, all about the money, they’re shocked to learn that owners are killer their players for profit and contracts are signed with no way out. This time the team is going to have a little fun and maybe get rid of some aggression of their own. Who knows, with Alvin they might even invent a new sport. Escape the alligator and you win.
