Home Game (2024), Game Face (2025), and Final Down (2025) make up the new trilogy, with football again providing the backdrop for the romantic storylines.

Scott’s original Waiting series, starting with her 2013 debut Waiting on the Sidelines, became one of her most popular works. The Next Generation books return to the same world years later, with a new generation dealing with their own athletic pressures and romantic complications. The football-themed titles carry through from the original trilogy. Readers who followed Reed and Nolan’s story will get to see how their family turned out, while the new couples provide fresh material that can stand on its own for newcomers willing to start here.
