Here's another tangential guess that your description brought to mind but doesn't match on all points:

Becky Wade - Falling for you	2018

Description:Willow Bradford is content taking a break from modeling to run her family's inn until she comes face-to-face with NFL quarterback Corbin Stewart, the man who broke her heart--and wants to win her back. When a decades-old family mystery brings them together, they're forced to decide whether they can risk falling for one another all over again.

Hello, all!

Couldn't find this one on my own and could use a little help. A patron was looking for a romance novel they read around 2018 but didn't remember too many details. They described the story as a girl who moves to a rural area to take over running an inn in her grandparents' stead, eventually meeting and falling for a football player--who she did not know at first was a football player. She believed it was adult fiction rather than YA but couldn't be completely sure on that point. I know this is quite vague, so I appreciate any suggestions!

Wishing you all a great first week of March!

Sam Lloyd
