Gridiron Glow-Up: An Enemies-to-Lovers Sports Romance by Robin Stock

Set in Lubbock Texas, Gridiron Glow-Up is a love-hate, surprise pregnancy romance, pitting a new football coach against the journalist daughter of his thirty-year predecessor. While he runs from love, she yearns for it. With a high heat level and plenty of "will-they-or-won’t-they," this is a story that will make readers laugh, cry, and swoon. At just thirty, Milo Walker makes waves as he joins the Lubbock community as its new high school football coach. The son of a highly respected NFL coach, Milo has made his own way up the high school coaching ladder in a few, short years. He is also running from a past mistake that took the life of his college girlfriend. Just twenty-eight, Ruby Graham is grieving the unexpected loss of her father, Rex, who coached the high school football team for thirty years, becoming the winningest high school football coach in the state of Texas prior to his passing. Known as “Mini Coach” and the “Football Princess,” Ruby grew up on the sidelines with her father. She knows the game in and out, and also serves as the sports reporter for the Lubbock Free Press, a local paper. With his budding career on the line, Milo faces over-engaged parents, powerful boosters, and a tragedy among his players that has Ruby questioning her future with the paper that launched her career. Making it all the more complex is the chemistry between two young professionals tied together by loss, heartbreak, and a love of the game.
