    "description": "Tutoring the new star quarterback in exchange for a few fake dates won\u2019t lead to anything more\u2026 right?\n\nJames\n\nFootball is my everything. I live, eat, breathe the sport. But when I transfer to McKee University to escape the distractions that nearly cost me my future in the NFL, I\u2019m faced with another consequence: retake and pass the writing class I failed at my last college, or lose any chance I have at making it big. That\u2019s where fellow senior Beckett Wood\u2014gorgeous, stubborn, and just my type\u2014comes in. She\u2019s the key to my success in this class\u2026 but the price of her help is a fake relationship, and I never do things halfway.\n\nBex\n\nI don't mess around with athletes, and at first glance, handsome, self-assured James Callahan is no exception. He wants me to help him pass the writing class we\u2019re both stuck taking, but I'm too busy to take on yet another responsibility. But when his teammate--my cheating ex--won\u2019t leave me alone, I realize I need to convince him I\u2019ve moved on\u2026 and what better way than by pretending to be with James, who wants nothing to do with a real relationship?\n\nYet with every fake kiss, James pulls me deeper into a place that thrills and terrifies me.\n\nWhy does he make me feel alive like no one else has?\n\nAnd why don\u2019t I want it to end?\n\nFirst Down is a spicy new adult sports romance with fake dating, dual POV, and a guaranteed HEA. It is the first in a series of linked, yet standalone, novels in the Beyond the Play series.",
