First Down

This book can be read entirely as a standalone. While it introduces the Callahan family and serves as the first entry in the Beyond the Play series, each subsequent book focuses on a different sibling and features a self-contained romance with a complete resolution.

The narrative alternates between the dual points of view of James and Bex. This structure allows you to experience both characters' internal struggles, their individual motivations for the fake-dating arrangement, and their developing feelings firsthand.
