About the book
Substitute Teacher Piper Caveneau is dedicated to ensuring her students achieve success, even if it means putting the entire Heritage Football team on the sidelines. She isn’t afraid to challenge the school’s new football coach – even if he happens to be the charming man who saved her on her first night in town.
Teaching is Piper’s passion, and securing a permanent position in Heritage is her ultimate goal. She is determined to make this small town her home, no matter what it takes.
Former NFL player Titus Ford is surprised to find himself back in the quaint town of Heritage, Michigan. While recovering, he agrees to coach his old high school team. Titus is focused on his players and has no room for distractions, especially from the spirited new English teacher who is causing disruptions in his season.
When Piper proposes tutoring for the team, Titus decides to give it a shot. Little does he know that this one decision could lead to a life he never imagined. Perhaps Piper will finally find the sense of belonging she has been searching for.
However, when a tempting coaching opportunity arises and Piper’s aspirations are shattered, they both realize that Heritage may not be their happy ending after all.
