THE BACKUP PLAN
By K. Bromberg
Lone Star Rebels Series – Book 1

🏈 Sometimes love isn't part of the plan. Sometimes it's the backup plan.

From New York Times and USA Today bestselling author K. Bromberg comes a captivating sports romance filled with forbidden attraction, emotional tension, professional football, and unexpected love.

Lucas Hale has spent his entire life chasing greatness on the football field.

As a legendary franchise quarterback, he's built his reputation on determination, talent, and an unwavering commitment to the game.

But after suffering a devastating shoulder injury, his future in professional football is anything but certain.

Determined to prove he still has what it takes, Lucas signs with the Lone Star Rebels for one final opportunity to reclaim his career.

There's just one problem.

Dr. Emery Porter.

As the Rebels' new injury specialist, Emery has one responsibility: protecting the health and safety of the team's players.

And she's not about to let a charming, stubborn quarterback convince her to ignore the medical evidence.

Lucas wants to play.

Emery knows his shoulder might not survive another season.

And neither is willing to back down.

But as their professional relationship becomes increasingly complicated, the attraction between them becomes impossible to ignore.

Lucas is determined to fight for his football career.

Emery is determined to protect him from himself.

And somewhere between their disagreements, unexpected moments of vulnerability, and undeniable chemistry, something neither planned begins to develop.

Falling in love could put Emery's career at risk.

Returning to football could cost Lucas everything.

But walking away from each other might be the biggest loss of all.

THE BACKUP PLAN is an emotional contemporary sports romance about second chances, professional ambition, unexpected love, and discovering that sometimes the best things in life happen when your carefully made plans fall apart.
