2nd and 7 by Mirrah McGee

Season of Change

Tyrone Wicawiil
A good quarterback knows how to pivot, how to shift on a dime, how to power through. I’m no longer a quarterback, but I still adapt and persevere like no one else I know. From the outside, my life would seem anything but ideal. To me…I have been blessed and I am grateful for every day I am given. My brother, Lyndell, is my world and everything I do is for him. And I have never regretted a single moment spent in dedication to his health and happiness.
More so when I realize all of my blood, sweat, and tears over the course of my 23 years has made me into the man I am and has led to the only thing Lyndell and I truly need but have never dared hoped to find…a family.

Edith “Edee” Shingleton
Second year of college, I’m getting the hang of things. I want to prove myself, show I have what it takes to be a photojournalist. I’m given the prestigious assignment of photographing the university football team. It only takes me 3 seconds to realize I was tapped because no one else wants to put up with Coach Heacock and his ridiculous demands.
A few months on the sidelines changes my entire life. Friends, purpose, a boyfriend, and a big brother. Between the moments of pure joy, there is sadness and tragedy. Attempted murder, WWE style stadium fighting, police custody, popsicle eating contests, press conferences, and oddly placed mirrors…can’t regret the journey, when the destination is the arms of the man I love.

Author’s Note: 2nd and 7 is book two in the Season of Change series. Each book will focus on a new couple, M/F or M/M and will end with that couple’s HFN, with a continuing story arc that is best read in order. This series includes crude humor, adult sexual content, coarse language, and all the good feels. If this isn’t your game of choice, don’t play with the men and women of Season of Change.
