Songs for Cricket — Terri E. Laine

Finley and Shepard can never be together.

He's her brother's best friend and the scandal surrounding his family could be his ruin.

She's their university's darling, the first female football player good enough to join the team.

Besides, her family would never approve

…and the object of his heart wrenching lyrics is Cricket, not her.

Only her heart has never belonged to another

…and his soul has always been hers.

When an accusation against him threatens to keep him off the field with possible jail time, her determination to save him and his need to protect her may end up being the reason why they can never be.

Friendship and love bind them together; while secrets, lies, and rules keep them apart.

But the truth behind his songs for Cricket could be what saves them both.
