The Final Score by Jaci Burton

4.0

Nathan Riley was the son of Tara and Mick Riley. He has been drafted by the San Francisco Sabers NFL team and was approaching his first season as the starting quarterback. His father, Mick, had just retired and turned the reins over to Nathan. He was gorgeous, talented, fun loving and every girl’s dream but football was his sole focus.

Mia was the sister to Grant, Tucker Barrett and Flynn (books 9-12), all professional athletes. She grew up around sports and opened her own Sports Management company. She was snarky, feisty, stubborn, independent and beautiful.

Nathan and Mia met in college and became fast friends. They had similar backgrounds and understood the pressure of each other’s lives. Through the years they became best friends. They had chemistry but purposely ignored it, valuing their friendship above all. As their careers were starting, they shifted to a friends with benefits relationship, but not wanting to drift out of the friends realm.
