The Backup

Nineteen-year-old beauty Josie Savage has lived in the shadow of her football star father since he acknowledged paternity. After winning an academic scholarship to Montgomery University, she’s hoping three thousand miles will be enough to get out from underneath his controlling thumb. The school’s incredibly sexy backup quarterback with a shady background is a distraction she doesn’t need. Worse yet, his roommate, who happens to be the starting quarterback, also has his sights set on Josie. Can a famous but publicity-shy California girl manage to navigate the attractions of two sexy star athletes?

Quarterback Runner Rarity is ready to make his mark on the team after sitting out his freshman year. Football has been the one constant in his life through a turbulent Baltimore childhood. His mom gave him nothing except his blond hair and his memorable name. Runner doesn't know who his father is, and he doubts his mother does either. He figures he doesn't have a chance with Josie, especially when his millionaire roommate takes her out. He takes a chance, and he and Josie end up in a passionate, turbulent relationship. But a big mistake threatens to end their relationship before the season is over.
