The sixth book in the #1 New York Times bestselling Field Party
series-a Southern soap opera with football, cute boys, and pick-up
trucks-from USA TODAY bestselling author Abbi Glines. Ezmita Ramos
has always had big plans for her future, ones that would take her
far outside the Lawton city limits. But with overprotective parents
who control every part of her life, she's worried that these dreams
will never become reality. There's nothing Asa Griffith wants more
than to leave Lawton. It's his senior year and he's all set to
attend Ole Miss in the fall, but a part of him also worries about
what will happen if he leaves his mom living alone with his abusive
father. After a huge fight with his father that escalates to
violence, Asa is forced out of the house in the middle of the night
with nowhere to go. When Asa and Ezmita cross paths that night,
neither of them is in the mood to socialize. But they also feel
this undeniable chemistry, one that gives them each hope that
better days lie ahead. Then Asa is sent away to live with his
grandmother for four months, only to return to Lawton and find out
Ezmita has moved on. Still, the sparks between Asa and Ezmita
linger. Neither of them has forgotten the way they felt seen by the
other at their lowest points. Can Asa and Ezmita find their way
back to each other?

bestselling author Tim Green delivers a gripping addition to his
Football Genius series.
Troy's dreams of the big time have backfired. Sure, he's moved
to New Jersey to start his new job as "genius" for the New York
Jets, but his dad has taken his entire salary, leaving Troy and his
mom broke. Now Troy has no hope of going to private school and
playing for a football powerhouse with his cousin Ty. Instead he's
going to be part of a team with an unbroken losing streak. But Troy
fights back.
When he gets Seth to coach his public school team, Troy feels
ready for a perfect season. He doesn't guess that he'll be
struggling against those who want him to lose. When Troy's talent
for calling plays slips and his abilities as a quarterback are
threatened, he's got to dig deep. And it will take all of Troy's
football genius to turn this team around.

football team where winning is the only thing that matters

extraordinary price for victory, paid both on and off the football
field, and it claims its victims without mercy. When the
unthinkable happens, an unlikely friendship is at the heart of an
increasingly violent, steroid-infused power struggle. This is a
book that will stay with readers long after they turn the last
page.
