Step into the intense world of collegiate football and dance, where past trauma meets undeniable attraction. Eve Beckett, haunted by her abusive past, seeks a fresh start at Pembroke College, only to collide with the university's star quarterback, Carson Ryder, a man she's already met under unforgettable circumstances. Can she outrun her demons when the past and present collide in a fiery dance?

Inside the administrative building, the air was warmer, but the knot in my stomach remained. I gave my name to the lady at the desk, watching her eyes widen slightly at my last name. Here we go again. Another place where the name 'Beckett' meant something, and I just hoped it wouldn't mean trouble.
