BLURB:

Rule one of being a cheerleader: never fall for the football players who think your sport is a joke.

Jesse Morton has spent two years as co-captain of Wildbrook University’s nationally ranked cheer squad, perfecting every stunt, every tumble, every count of eight. He’s used to the snickers in the hallways and the jocks who think his uniform is a punchline. He has a trophy case full of comebacks, and a sharp tongue for anyone who still doesn’t get it..

Hunter Campbell is Wildbrook’s golden-boy wide receiver and the guy Jesse has been verbally sparring with since freshman year. When a drunken rant of Hunter calling cheerleading “glorified choreography” goes viral, the athletic department hands down a very public punishment. Six weeks of cross-training with the cheer squad, under Jesse’s command.

Jesse plans to make him suffer. Hunter plans to coast through it and get back to the gridiron where he belongs. Neither of them plans for the heat that sparks every time they step onto the mat.

As Nationals approach and the season builds toward its loudest moment, Jesse will have to decide whether he’s willing to be Hunter’s frenemy for life, or be tossed into the air and caught in the arms of a lover.
