Making the Play — T.J. Kline

T. J. Kline launches a brand-new series with the charming story of an NFL player who finds love when he least expects it . . .

Grant McQuaid has dedicated his entire life to his football career. Now an injury threatens his place on the team and he's forced to return home to rehabilitate. But when he meets his “biggest fan,” a precocious, blue-eyed, hearing-impaired boy named James -- and his beautiful mother, Bethany -- Grant begins to question whether football is the future he still wants.

Bethany Mills has been doing just fine since her husband walked out on them . . . and she definitely doesn't need another man to disappoint her -- -- or her son. But when James runs into his hero at the park, Bethany admitsthere is a void in her son's life that she just can't fill. Her attraction to the handsome football star is undeniable, but a man in the limelight is the last thing she wants for herself, or James.

Grant doesn't want to subject Bethany to the chaos of dating a professional athlete. But the more time he spends with her and James, the harder it is to resist making a play for her heart . . .
