Description: *Only an airhead would go for a guy nicknamed "Killer."* 

But Tobie Tanner is no airhead.  A serious, intelligent student, Tobie has most of her life planned, up to the moment she finishes her first novel.  But once she interviews Lou "Killer" Keller for the school newspaper, Tobie is lost, and wonderfully in love.  Off the field, Lou is bright and sweet, but Tobie can't forget that football is a violent game.  Can a peace-loving writer find happiness with a guy who has to leave his gentle ways in the locker room? [text from book jacket]
