Behind the Camera

Maven Wood used to play college soccer until an injury ended it. Now she photographs games for an NFL team, a position she got with help from her godfather, who happens to be the head coach. Her career depends on keeping the job and keeping her record clean.

Then her roommate moves out and Maven cannot afford the rent alone. Dallas Lansfield, the team's kicker, has a four-year-old son full of energy and no one at home to watch him. He offers her a room in his house and a paid role as the boy's nanny.

The team forbids relationships with players. Living under one roof, Maven and Dallas find that the boundary between employer and friend keeps slipping, and the arrangement that solves her money problem starts to put her position at risk.

Behind the Camera is a single dad and nanny sports romance with an open-door, spicy heat level. The book has no other-woman drama and promises a happy ending. It is the second full-length novel in the Love Through a Lens series, and it can be read on its own or in order. First published in 2024.

The question running through it is how long Maven can keep her place on the sidelines while living in the kicker's home.
