Tackle by Sarah Curtis

A linebacker walks into a bar…

Big, brawny, and when not on the football field, lacking finesse, Oz Olson had been in enough embarrassing situations to have become gun-shy around women.
That didn’t mean he wasn’t enthralled by the black-haired beauty behind the bar.
But tucked away in his corner booth, he was safe from conversation. He could enjoy being in her company and never need to interact.
Until one day…
Sitting in his usual booth, it was hard for Emerson Kelly not to notice the big guy watching her. He tried to pretend he wasn’t, but every so often she’d catch him in the act, and their eyes would lock.
And when that happened, she’d feel a sharp tug on her heart.
But he never made a move.
Until one day…
He did.

Tackle is a full-length sports romance—with a touch of suspense—novel. It can be read as a standalone but—warning—it follows the same timeline as Sack, book one of the Eligible Receivers series, so does contain some spoilers to Colt and Ivy’s story.
Due to sex and language, it is recommended for persons over 18. HEA
