Red Zone

She drew the play that made him a star. He got the confetti. She got a punchline that followed her for nine years.

Camila Reyes has never been handed one single thing. Not the film hours, not the credibility, not the room. She is four minutes from the interview that could make her the first woman to run an offense in professional football — and one cancelled flight away from the worst decision of her career.

Beckett Rhodes is thirty years old, one bad shoulder from the end, and the only quarterback in the league converting inside the twenty at forty-one percent. He knows exactly what that number means. So does every executive in the ballroom that just watched him lose.

One storm. One dark hotel bar. One cocktail napkin with a play drawn on it in ballpoint — and one night neither of them intends to survive the morning.

Three weeks later, Camila takes the coordinator job with his division rival.

Six weeks after that, she's pregnant.

She has a plan: don't tell him.

He has one rule: I'm in the room.

What follows is a leaked story, a conflict-of-interest hearing, ninety thousand people screaming, and a fourth quarter where the man she loves has to beat her to save his career.
