Alexa Martin is the author of 3 books with another forthcoming. Her first, Intercepted, which was published in 2018, is about Marlee Harper, a long-term girlfriend of an NFL star, whose relationship suddenly ends and she finds herself falling for her ex’s quarterback. This book was inspired by Martin’s own experience as an NFL wife, which she was for 8 years until her husband’s retirement from the league. Her husband, Derrick Martin, is a two-time Super Bowl champion, with the Packers and the Giants. Martin’s book Intercepted is in development with Starz and G-Unit films to become a new series on Starz.

Her other two books are in the same series -- Fumbled and Blitzed. Snapped is next and its hero is a quarterback who decides to kneel during the national anthem inspired by Colin Kaepernick.
