Sizzling ambition, drama, and swoonworthy romance abound in this underdog sports story, perfect for fans of Icebreaker!
When softball star Liv Rodinsky throws one ill-advised punch during the most important game of the year, she loses her scholarship to her fancy private school, her boyfriend, and her teammates all in one fell swoop. With no other options, Liv is forced to transfer to the nearest public school, Northland, where she'll have to convince its coach she deserves a spot on the softball team, all while facing both her ex and the teammates of the girl she punched... Every. Single. Day. Enter Grey, the injured star quarterback with amazing hair and a foolproof plan: If Liv joins the football team and plays with the boys as Grey's temporary replacement, he'll make sure she gets a spot on the softball team in the spring. But it will take more than just a flawless spiral for Liv to find acceptance in Northland's halls, and behind that charismatic smile, Grey may not be so perfect after all.
With lovable characters, an irresistible quarterback love interest, and shocking twists, Throw Like a Girl will have readers engrossed from page one all the way to a touchdown ending.Author Biography
