Loving the Lineman

Deke Wright had spent years running from his past. An opportunity to coach for the Cormac University football team means building a stable life for his daughters. It also meant finally facing his brother and rebuilding the bridges he’d burnt years ago. Em Slater wasn’t part of the plan.

Emma Slater had everything. A big family. A thriving business. A roller derby team about to start its first season. All she needed was more hours in the day. She definitely didn’t have time for Deke Wright and his adorable girls.

As fall slides toward winter, Deke and Em meet by chance. While they think of all the reasons a relationship can’t work, circumstances, and his daughters, keep throwing them together.

Will they realize that there’s always time for love, or will ghosts from their pasts pull them apart forever?
