Second Chance Trouble by Alex McAnders

Claude Harper thought his future in football—and with his best friend, Merri—had been sacked, until his past rushed back with an offer he never saw coming.

Merri, an assistant coach for a pro team, needs to find a game–changing quarterback to keep his job, and he believes Claude still has the heart and arm he fell in love with. But Claude’s departure from his college team, and Merri’s life, was about more than football; intense feelings for each other and identity struggles drove them apart.
Now, armed with hope and a smile, Merri heads to Claude’s small Tennessee town with an offer. The game plan is clear: Merri must get Claude to forgive him for doing the unthinkable, and then get Claude to move in with him for the summer to train… and not fall in love with him again. Simple, right?
But when practice days turn into steamy nights, can the two navigate their feelings, a close-minded team owner, and a bitter ex, all of which are fighting to keep them apart? And when laughter is replaced with tear-streaked cheeks, and heart-breaking confessions, what comes next?

Will their shared love for the sport and each other score the ultimate touchdown? Or will past wounds and twisting obstacles keep these best friends from the second chance they both desperately desire?
