She came with a baby and baggage. He showed up with his heart.

Phileigh Read has spent her entire life playing it safe, until one slip up with a client leaves her pregnant and staring down single motherhood. Phileigh’s focus should be on protecting her peace, building her brand, and preparing for the arrival of her child. But one last night out leads her into the arms of Super Bowl MVP Kellon “KB” Barnes, and the rest is history.

Kellon Barnes has spent years trying to outrun the guilt of his past. But something about Phileigh makes him want to stand still. She’s not part of his playbook, but she might be the peace he didn’t know he needed.

Love, like football, is all about timing, but sometimes, the best things in life just may come from an Unexpected Pass.
