Neutral Zone| Signed

Releasing: May 2026 
Ahzani has a straightforward plan, and none of it includes huge NFL egos.

At twenty-two, she’s fighting her way through culinary school and dodging a professor who seems determined to fail her. Her future depends on focus, discipline and perfecting her recipes that her professor seems to hate. The last thing Ahzani is worried about is the football season. Especially not Kyro Davis, Philadelphia’s star running back and recent Super Bowl champion who has earned trouble for himself in the media after still living on a high after his historic NFL season

However, one favor turns into an opportunity when Ahzani fills in as head chef for her sister at a high-profile event and suddenly Kyro wants her cooking for him full-time. Four weeks into the season, Kyro’s performance is slipping and the media aren’t the only ones swarming in on his performance. Him hiring a private chef is part of his attempt to get his life back under control. Kyro doesn’t expect Ahzani’s sharp tongue and steady presence in his life and Ahzani doesn’t expect the man behind the headlines to be focused, funny, and a lover at heart.

Between their ambition to reach their goals, tension builds and hearts get dangerously close. Can Azhani and Kyro keep their relationship professional? Or will they be bound to cross the Neutral Zone?
