The Pact (Gridiron Legacy #2)

Back in college, I made a pact with Presley Grant—if we were both still single at thirty, we’d marry each other.

It was a joke. A fallback plan we never thought we’d need.

Now I’m an NFL star, playing for Presley’s father’s team, and she’s the team doctor—completely off-limits. But when an injury puts me under her care in the offseason, old chemistry resurfaces fast … and inescapably.

Then tragedy strikes.

Now I’m the legal guardian of my sister’s two young children, facing a custody battle I might lose. Because no matter how much I love them, the court might not see my career as stable.

And Presley ... her dream of opening a football camp for underprivileged kids hinges on one seemingly impossible condition: she must be married or thirty-five years old to access her trust fund.

So, I make a proposal and cash in on our pact.

It’s supposed to solve everything—my family, her future. Temporary. Controlled. Nothing more.

But living together, raising two kids, and pretending to be in love—it starts to feel dangerously real.

And when the time comes to walk away … neither of us is sure we can.
