First, I lost the girl of my dreams.
I thought playing football in the NFL would be enough to forget about her. I thought it would give me everything I needed. I had riches, fame, and career of a lifetime. But I was never the same without Laura.
Then, I lost my contract.
After a devastating accident and a life-altering injury, that was it. Booted out of Chicago until I get better, back to the small town I thought I'd left behind for good. Back to my family, to Laura, back to where I could have had it all.
Laura's everything I remember. She's gorgeous, smart as a whip, and she's an incredible mother. But she's juggling a precocious kid, a messy divorce, and school on top of her job as a physical therapist, and the last thing she needs is me.
She's promised to help me heal. With my dark past, she's the only one who can get me back on track to the NFL where I belong. But every day we spend together, the more I need her, and the less I can imagine leaving her again.
I lost it all--but fate has a way of giving you a second chance. And this time, I won't let it go.
