The Fullback Protector by Emma Wolfe

Cora:
I’m determined to prove to Liam that we aren’t over. I need him to understand that I can handle the part of him that he revealed to me. I’m not weak.
But it doesn’t seem to matter. Not to Liam.
So I’m trying to move on. Christopher, my home economics partner, seems like a good distraction.
He’s sweet and kind and interested in me.
But everywhere I go, Liam seems to be there.
I’m trying to forget the one guy who stole my heart, but that seems easier said than done.

Rose:
I know my parent’s death wasn’t accidental. And I won’t stop until I find answers.
I can’t help the desire I have to discover the mystery of Smoky Hills forest. Even though I know it’s crazy, I can’t help but wonder if there are creatures that roam our woods and I can’t help but wonder if they took part in that fateful night.
The night I was made an orphan.
Determined to get answers, I start with Fullback Grayson Keller. He’s big. He’s burly. But he’s the only one who can’t seem to look me in the eye.
Even though it takes some convincing, he agrees to help—until I begin to dig a little too deep.
Suddenly, he wants to pull away. And somehow I care more about that than the answers I’ve been looking for.

Why did I let him into my life? Why did I let myself care? Why did I ever think this would end in a pretty little bow?
My obsession for answers doesn’t seem to matter. Not when Grayson leaves.
Not when it might even be my fault.
