Sparks fly on the sidelines when small-town gossip turns one impulsive kiss into something much bigger…

April McCarthy never expected to become a guardian to her twelve-year-old nephew. But after her sister's passing, she's determined to give Owen the stability he deserves—even if that means balancing her physical therapy patients with snack duty at Blue Spur Ranch's brand-new flag football program.

Coach Tate Adler isn't looking for love. Between mentoring his middle school players and dodging questions about why he's still single, romance is the last thing on his playbook. But as their partnership on the sidelines turns into something harder to ignore, the town starts connecting dots that April and Tate aren't ready to draw.

Now they must navigate meddling neighbors, unexpected chemistry, and feelings that refuse to stay on the sidelines. As Owen finds confidence on the field—and in his new life—April has to decide if guarding her heart is worth missing the biggest win of all.
Touchdowns and Tulips is a heartwarming Kingsley short story filled with flirty banter, small-town charm, and a love story that proves sometimes the best plays happen off the field.
