She's a small-town tomboy mechanic.

He's a big-city, suit-wearing nerd.

Opposites not only attract...they combust.

Nolan Winters left his hometown after high school, wanting bigger things than Bad, Louisiana could offer. Years later, he's a popular journalist, and a bestselling author, working on his second book-a biography about one of Louisiana's most beloved football coaches, Bad's very own Coach Karr. Now Nolan's finding himself home a lot more often. For research. Yeah. That's the story he's sticking to. He's not coming home for sexy, sweet local mechanic, Miranda Doyle. Nope. Not at all.

Randi's a born-and-bred Bad girl, more than content to stay there forever. Football, steady work, family and friends...her small hometown has everything she needs. And lately, something she wants-Nolan Winters.

Never much of an athlete, Nolan asks football fanatic Randi for help on the ins and outs of the game for his new book. It isn't long before Randi would rather help the hot nerd in and out of other things...like her bedroom, and definitely his clothes.

She's a C-average ex-cheerleader. He's an A-plus bookworm. Their differences could keep their engines running hot...or steer them straight toward a crash and burn.
