Author Aleatha Romig Launches New NFL Romantic Suspense Series with Intercepted

The first book in The Coopers series follows a professional football family navigating internal power struggles alongside a second-chance romance.

GREENWOOD, IN, UNITED STATES, August 20, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and USA Today bestselling author Aleatha Romig has released Intercepted: An NFL Dynasty Romance, the first book in a new four-part series called The Coopers. The novel is set within a professional football organization and follows a family managing internal power struggles alongside a rekindled relationship between two of its central characters.

The story follows Fin Graham, a veteran quarterback newly traded to the Lexington Coopers, a team owned by the family of a woman he was previously involved with. Their history is not known to those around them, and her father, the team’s owner, holds significant influence over Fin’s future with the franchise.

As the two navigate unresolved history and the pressures of the season, they are each faced with questions about trust, loyalty, and what they are willing to risk, both professionally and personally.

Romig has described the series as combining family and workplace dynamics with romantic suspense, in a setting she compares to television dramas centered on family-run organizations.

Intercepted, the first book in the series, was released in February. The second and third books, Rushed and Sacked, are also available. The fourth and final book, Scored, is scheduled for release on September 7, completing the four-book series.

Intercepted: An NFL Dynasty Romance is available now.
