Love, Literature, and the Linebacker is a heartwarming contemporary romance about a bookish heroine, a determined football star, and the courage it takes to step beyond the stories we read and start living one of our own.
A book-loving heroine.
A determined college linebacker.
And a love story neither of them expected.
Lucy Bennett has always preferred the quiet certainty of books to the chaos of real life. Between hours spent in the library, small-town routines, and stories that promise happily-ever-afters, she’s built a safe world where love exists neatly between the pages.
Dylan Sharpe has never questioned his path. Football has been his dream for as long as he can remember, and when the Redwood Larks offer him the chance to play professionally, the future he’s worked for his entire life is finally within reach.
But falling for Lucy was never part of the plan.
What begins as an unexpected connection soon becomes something neither of them is ready to let go of. Yet when Dylan’s career pulls him across the country, Lucy must decide if she’s brave enough to leave the life she’s always known… or risk losing the man who has become her greatest story.
Because sometimes the most unforgettable love stories aren’t the ones we read.
They’re the ones we’re brave enough to live.
