Sometimes the hardest thing to steal is a second chance.
Their first chance ended before it began.
This season, they’re playing for keeps.
Harper Sullivan has a knack for making herself indispensable. That’s how she landed her dream job as the newest athletic trainer for the Tammany Tygers. Working harder than everyone else is the safest way to earn her place on the team… and keep it.
Nolan Hart, the new face of the Tygers’ franchise, knows what it means to carry expectations that never let up. During Nolan’s rookie season, he and Harper came close to becoming something more. Then one night changed everything, ending their relationship before it ever had the chance to begin.
Now a new season has forced them back into each other’s orbit. Harper has to decide if she can keep things truly professional. With one long road trip after another… it’s nearly impossible to avoid him. And the longer she's forced to spend with him, the more resentment she realizes she's been holding on to… and the harder her feelings are to ignore.
But Nolan is still hiding the truth about why he walked away, and Harper has spent too long protecting herself to hand him her trust again.
Falling for him was never the problem. Believing he might actually stay is.
