Football is his life, but she thinks athletes can get away with murder. 

After a tragedy involving a football player destroyed her family, graduate student athletic trainer Cassie Parker moves across the country looking for a fresh start, but a surprise change in financial aid lands her in the middle of her worst nightmare. 

Meanwhile, rookie college coach Reed Worthington worries his dream career will slip away as injuries plague his players and his star receiver teeters on the brink of ineligibility. 

As the two work together to salvage the season, they struggle to keep their budding romance a secret from the team. However, after a scandal erupts, Reed must choose between the game he loves and the woman who just might be the catch of a lifetime. 

If you like college football, clean romance, and faith-based fiction with authentic characters, then you’ll love this standalone debut from Candee Fick. Get Catch of a Lifetime and kick-off the action-packed adventure today.

NOTE: The paperback version has the OLD original cover but contains the exact same story as the digital version with the new cover.

Far more than "just a game," football is a metaphor for the game of life.

As the wife of a high school football coach, author Candee Fick has climbed metal bleachers in all kinds of weather (with three small children in tow) to see firsthand the battle for field position and points. In addition to discovering the benefits of a comfortable stadium chair, she has seen many lessons about life illustrated on the playing field including coaching, preparation, strategy, teamwork, protection, criticism, rules and consequences, perseverance, time outs, and rewards.

This book combines aspects of the game of football, personal anecdotes, practical examples, and Scripture to illustrate biblical truths about life.

NOTE: This is the original version published in 2007. The same content was later organized into an 11-week devotional journey and is available with the subtitle "Exploring Faith and Football".
