The Quarterback Sweep
(2026)(The fourth book in the Four Quarters Collection series)
A novel by Ana Shay
Zach
I'm the starting quarterback for the Rome Raptors. I've spent my whole career being good at reading what's in front of me.
Hunniford Sanderson is the only play I've never figured out, and the only thing I've ever wanted.
I've tried to make her stay before. More than once, and she's run every time.
You'd think a guy with my job might learn to take a hint.
I haven't.
She thinks she needs to figure out who she is without me. Fine. Let her run. I've always been better at the long game than the sprint.
Honeycomb has always been mine.
She just hasn't said yes to it yet.
Honey
There are exactly two things I'm sure of in this life.
One: I love Zach Evans.
Two: I am absolutely not ready for what loving Zach Evans actually means.
So I made a perfectly reasonable, emotionally healthy decision and bolted. I packed a suitcase, signed up for therapy, and disappeared into a half-finished manuscript and a complicated relationship with my own avoidance issues.
A girl needs a plan.
Mine did not include him turning up on my healing girl summer trip with that infuriating smile and years of patience he shouldn't have.
But Zach has always played the long game.
And I'm starting to worry I've finally run out of places to hide.The Quarterback Sweep is a steamy, second-chance NFL romance about the girl who keeps running, the quarterback who refuses to stop chasing, and the slow, stubborn, achingly hopeful love that finally calls them both home.
🏈 He fell first AND harder
'''' Second (third? fourth?) chance romance
🏈 Cocky, persistent, golden-retriever-with-a-cannon-arm hero
🏈 Heroine on a journey of self-discovery
🏈 "I'm done running" energy
🏈 One ring. One velvet box. One very patient man.
Genre: Romance
