Four people. Four goals. Four endings. In the third and final book of the USA Today bestselling By His Game series, the rules of the game no one knew they€d have to play are blurring, and when the past becomes the opposing team, hearts aren€t the only thing at stake of being lost€¦
Finding naked pictures of her best friend on her boyfriend€s phone wasn€t in Everleigh White€s five year plan. Neither was moving back to Los Angeles, the city of dreams that never managed to make hers come true. There€s only so many years you can be in love with your best friend before you realize he€s never going to love you back, after all. If only her ex would stop showing up at the gym where she works, she€d be much happier. Being a father at nineteen wasn€t how Reid North, the Vipers€ wide receiver, imagined his life going, but when his ex-girlfriend tricked him into parenthood, he accepted it. Eventually. Now, with his ex on the verge of being released from prison, he€s holding onto full custody of his seven year old son, Leo. Football and Leo have left Reid no time for dating€¦ Until Everleigh comes back. His best friend his whole life, Everleigh never knew Reid loved her. She left before he could tell her. Now she€s back in front of him, and he€s not letting go. Even if all he gets is her friendship again. But in a city like L.A., dreams come true when you€re least expecting it. So do nightmares. With their exes beating down their doors with demands and explanations, their hesitant and building relationship is threatened at every corner. They€re at serious risk of being intercepted by the past, and that€s a ball Reid is determined to catch. Except desperation can lead to stupidity€"and Reid soon realizes he can€t catch every ball, no matter how perfectly it€s thrown to him. This time a fumble could cost more than a few points. It could cost him everything.
(INTERCEPTED is the third and final book in the By His Game series and can be read as a standalone, although it is advised to read BLINDSIDED and SIDELINED before, in this order.)
