Changing the Play (2017) is a rivals-to-lovers sports romance set in the high-stakes world of professional football and sports media. Rachel Pollard has built a reputation as one of the best talent scouts in sports management, and Nick Ruben is a reporter who needs an exclusive interview with her to save his job from network layoffs. The fact that they knew each other in high school adds a personal dimension to their professional sparring.
The book was published under the name Julia Blake and sits apart from Kelly’s later historical fiction. It belongs to her early career alongside the One Week in Love anthologies and the Governess novellas, when she was writing across several romance subgenres before finding her voice in WWII historical novels.
