Struggling pro football wide receiver Derek Ramsey was once Rachel McCormick's best friend and lover, and now they're forced together again.
Gifted with an uncanny ability for evaluating football talent and a dogged determination to succeed in a man's world, Rachel finally gets her chance in the pros as a staff member of the Seattle Steelheads. Her first assignment is to help Derek get his game back. While working with him on the field, she succumbs to the chemistry between them and spends a forbidden night in his arms.
The next day Derek has the best performance of his not-so illustrious career. Soon Derek and Rachel are racking up nights in bed, and the team is racking up wins. Not only is Rachel his coach, but Derek knows the truth behind a secret that destroyed her father years before.
They're risking their careers, but they can't resist each other.
Torn between love and duty, the clock is winding down. It's fourth and goal, one second left in the game. The next play Derek makes must be for Rachel's heart.
Previously published as Fourth and Goal in 2011. This version has been updated, re-written, and re-edited.

Elizabeth's Review
3.25 Stars - Above Average Read
Review Copy Provided by Author
It’s a bit of an odd experience ready a book and knowing how it’s going to turn out. That’s Kickoff for me.... between reading the newer Stealheads books and the other originals that are being republished Derek and Rachel are characters that I’ve met before, but when they were further down the road from where they are here.
The “going back in time” idea probably led to some of the issues I had connecting with the characters, especially Derek and Ty (his cousin and a secondary character). In Kickoff, Derek is evolving both from a professional and emotional standpoint. It’s hard to see that when I’ve met the more evolved version already.
I also struggled a little bit with how the romance between Derek and Rachel started. I liked the second chance/work place element, but some of the early interactions almost seemed to undermine Rachel as a person. I don’t think that’s what was intended, but there were places that I just didn’t love.
This was a decent read, but I’m not sure it measures up to what I have come to expect from Ms Davenport. I don’t know if it’s because it’s originally an older manuscript that has been polished or if it’s something else, but I had a hard time clicking with this one.
