Comeback Route: The Originals by Jami Davenport

It’s time for bad-boy quarterback Tyler Harris to put up or shut up–and to win the ring he’s been avoiding his whole life.

Two years without a ring on your finger is enough to drive any girl crazy, especially Lavender Gerloch. She loves her bad-boy quarterback, but he only prizes one type of ring–a championship ring. So it’s time to say goodbye.
Tyler hasn’t been hit so hard in years. Why would anyone want to ruin a perfectly good relationship by making it official? But Lavender’s flight seems to suggest just that, and even worse, his friends’ wives have huddled with her to run a game-winning play. The biggest showdown of his life is coming, and there’ll be no refs calling unnecessary roughness.
He’s down, and the clock is ticking. It’s time for a comeback route, but is Tyler up to the task?
