THIRD AND TEN by MARIE VEILLON

Welcome to Camellia, Louisiana

Tenley Robin never thought she’d be moving back home to Camellia, Louisiana, and taking over guardianship of her teenage nephew, Ethan—but mais la.

Focusing on her career as a nurse-midwife has led her to develop a more utilitarian view of romance…until she meets Ethan’s super wholesome and charming football coach, JD Bourgeois, the one guy intent on sweeping her off her feet. And now she’s struggling to remember her reasons for avoiding relationships in the first place, especially when there’s a retired football player mowing her lawn sans-shirt…

It’s admittedly getting more difficult for Tenley to resist JD’s advances by the hour, but is she brave enough to risk forming an attachment or adding another complication in her already complex life, especially with Ethan in the middle?

———————————

What’s a man gotta do to get a HEA around here?

JD Bourgeois is beyond ready to settle down and raise a family, yet hanging out with his favorite student and scoring a dinner invitation from Ethan’s grandparents is the closest he’s gotten since returning to his hometown a few years ago.

But the moment he lays eyes on Ethan’s Aunt Tenley (and those nice, big capital letters embroidered on her chest), he senses his prospects are looking up...until “Coach JD Bourgeois: Former Pro Tight End” starts defaulting to “Coach Thirsty: Desperate and Awkward Loser” any time Tenley Robin is around.

He’s not giving up that easily, though. He’s determined to tackle every one of Tenley’s issues and persuade her to ditch her anti-dating policy for good—even if it includes topless yard work, custody hearings, and exercises in chastity.

It may be a third-and-long situation, but JD isn’t afraid to go out for a Hail Mary, especially if the result means ensuring Ethan’s happiness and convincing Tenley to take his last name.

Third and Ten is Marie Veillon’s debut novel and the first installment in the Camellia Rom-Com series.
