Publisher Description
All you’ll ever be is a pretty face.
Star running back Bruce “Bruiser” Mackey has heard those words his entire life, especially after his twin brother’s tragic accident. He might use his surfer-boy good looks to land lucrative endorsements for his secret charity, but he hates books being judged by their covers. Which is why it’s wrong that his friend Mackenzie Hernandez is intent on giving herself a makeover.
Sure, Mac and her father have been reeling financially since her brother disappeared three years ago, and Steelheads management gives an annual scholarship that might get her life back on track, but he can’t imagine anyone smarter, sexier, or more beautiful than Mac already is. He can’t keep his hands off her—and the more they spend time together, the less he wants to. She’s perfect as is.
One way or another, he’ll make sure the team’s tomboy groundskeeper gets a full ride. And between the two of them, they can learn to accept what’s behind them and look downfield to a future full of win.
Previously published as Backfield in Motion in 2013. This version has been updated, rewritten, and re-edited.

Entertaining
I love Jami Davenport’s style of writing; her books are always entertaining and she delivers a well written story. This is a friends to lovers story that drew me in and kept me riveted throughout.
Bruce “Bruiser” Mackey and Mackenzie Hernandez’s story is one that ticked the boxes for me. Underneath his good looks, is a kind and caring man who will do whatever he can to support his friends and raise money for his secret charity.
This was at times an emotional roller coaster of a read, particularly as the details of Bruiser’s brothers accident unfolds. Both Bruiser and Mac have emotional baggage which they both try to keep to themselves. Can they overcome their pasts and find a lasting love with one another?
I loved that the relationship grew from friendship. This book was exactly what I've come to expect from Jami Davenport, it will make you laugh, it will make you cry,but oh how I loved it and I cannot wait to read the next book in the series.
Entertaining Emotional Read
I really love my visits to Seattle is and Jami Davenport’s sports romances and this time we are with The Seattle Steelheads NFL team and we are getting star running back Bryce “ Bruiser” Mackey and Mackenzie Hernandez’s story, it’s a friends to lovers romance that captivated me from the first page to the last line, I needed to know this couple, I needed the good, the bad and the sometimes ugly.....
Bruiser is a man who’s easy to love underneath the football star is a kind caring man who pays secret visits to the local children’s hospital, he will do whatever he can to support his friends and his secret charity but this is a man who believes he can help others but he isn’t worthy of love......
Mac is a friend who hasn’t had it easy since her brother disappeared, she is an intern at the team and is relaying on the sponsorship the team has to offer at the end of the year, problem is there is only one place and 2 people wanting it. Mac is the teams tomboy who also helps out and mix’s with the players, she has never seen the beauty beneath the baggy clothes but Bruiser has, so when he offers to help her get her life back on track it’s hard for him to stay in the friendship zone......
I loved how this friendship grew into love, I laughed, I cried and I swooned as I got engrossed in this romance. This book ticked all my boxes and I highly recommend it to all romance lovers as well as all sports romance lovers because it has something for everyone.
