Lucky Baller by Kaylee Ryan

Tessa
When my best friend Autumn asked me to tag along to an event with her, I never could have imagined that it would be the day that my life changed forever.
He’s arrogant and demanding and doesn’t take a hint. Landon Barker, the quarterback for the Los Angeles Cougars, is a player on and off the field. He’s got his sights set on me as his next play, but I see right through him.
Autumn says I’m overreacting, that I should give him a chance. What she doesn’t realize is that men like Landon don’t fall for the girl next door. That’s not reality. She got her fairytale, although it was a long road. Not everyone is that lucky.

Landon
She’s a friend of our new kicking coach’s wife. When I ask Jeremy for her number, he tells me I have to find a way to get it myself.
Nothing, when it comes to Tessa, has been easy. She’s the first woman ever to turn me down, and that won’t do.
However, as time passes, it’s about more than that. It’s about her smile, her laugh, and just spending time with her. She thinks I’m a player, and she’s right. What she doesn’t know is that I play to win, and her heart is the ultimate trophy.
