Cleat Cute meets Friday Night Lights in this funny, spicy, emotional new romance from Jodie Slaughter.

"Watching these two determined Sapphics scheme and smolder at one another is gloriously popcorn-worthy -- and as always, Slaughter knows how to bring the heat." - The New York Times

Jade Dunn has spent years trying to climb her way to the top of the southern high school football food chain. Now, the only thing standing between her and that future head coach spot is years of small-town good 'ol boy politics. When she scores an invite to a highly coveted monthly poker game perfect for networking, she jumps at the chance for a seat at the table. Only to find the one person with the ability to shake her there. An infuriatingly sexy art teacher who plays her cards like she's gunning for Jade's deserved spot.

Francesca Lim never thought she'd be happy in a small town, not after living and breathing hardcore Texas football her whole life. But two years ago, the promise of forever love had her leaving behind a burgeoning coaching career for a new life - only for it to burst into flames. Now, she has a chance to gain back a piece of her life she thought she'd left in Houston. The only one standing in the way? The prickly assistant coach that Francesca can't keep her mind or hands off of.

Not wanting to risk losing out on a dream job, Jade and Francesca can't afford to give in to the iron hot attraction that simmers beneath their biting interactions, so they try desperately to ignore it. Too bad their hearts don't seem to be as on board with the game plan.

Jodie Slaughter's Ready to Score shows how sometimes you have to go big or go home to get the life - and love - you deserve.
