Here's the scenario:
The ground was soft and slippery from the rain three days earlier. He hated playing in muddy conditions, but it was part of the game. He won the toss and elected to kick off now and receive in the second half. He paced and watched from the area around the bench.
They
were playing the Delaware Demons, and he wanted to see if he could learn
anything from their quarterback, Mark Davis. Davis was good. He had won the Super Bowl in his rookie
year.
The
Kings defense was in top form, and Griff was on the
field before long. He called the first play. Buddy got free, and Griff threw a
bullet right to his favorite receiver, who caught it and took it for a fifteen
yard gain and a first down.
The
next play, the Kings’ offensive line screwed up.
Griff ran a few yards then had to slide to avoid a tackle. A fumble recovered
by the Demons meant a turnover, and the Kings lost the ball. Davis came back
with a long pass that enabled them to score.
The
Kings bounced back with impressive blocking from the
offensive line. Griff completed
a pass to Homer Calloway, who ran it in for a touchdown. The score seesawed back and forth. It
was tied then the Demons inched ahead with a field goal. Griff and the Kings
leapfrogged over that score
with
a touchdown.
It
was close at half time. Coach Bass tried to buck up the men in the locker room,
as the Kings were behind by three. When they got back on the field, they
redoubled their efforts and squeaked ahead. The defense fought to hold the
Demons back, but they eked out a field goal to tie
the game.
A
rough tackle sent Homer to the showers. The pressure was on Griff. One more
field goal for the Demons meant that only a touchdown could win the game. Griff
nodded. It was a signal that indicated the quarterback was about to fake to another receiver and shoot the pass out to
Buddy.
It's GRIFF MONTGOMERY, QUARTERBACK. But it could be real life football. This book has such realistic scenes you'll think you're reading about a current NFL team, not a fictional one. Football + romance = a great reading experience!
To find out how this scene ends, you'll have to buy the book. Now available in ebook, paperback, and audio, too!)
Two
people, two tragedies, two deep, devastating secrets…. Griff Montgomery is the headline-making,
heart-breaking star quarterback of the Kings – a 6’4”, 33 year old womanizer. Lauren Farraday
is a beautiful young interior designer, bitterly scarred by divorce, whose life
is falling apart. Though they violently oppose one another in court over her
beloved pug (she thinks he’s arrogant and
conceited, and he thinks she’s a bitch on wheels), something happens....
