Eager to start over and finally put her painful past behind her, Quinn Weldon moves to Texas to teach and be near her elderly grandparents. And it's a good thing she did, because they need help—whether they wish to admit it or not. NFL pro Andre Biel turns up in her classroom to discuss his nephew's grade, and she's instantly drawn to him. Problem is, she swore off athletes a long time ago.

After a disastrous engagement, Andre Biel's priorities are his family and getting into the NFL history books before it's time to hang up his cleats. Intrigued by Quinn, Dre struggles to keep his feelings for her neutral after they're repeatedly thrown together to help his nephew and her grandparents.

When tragedy strikes Quinn and her family, Dre comes to their rescue. But when he faces the fight of his life, will Quinn run to his side or allow the pain of her past to stop her from taking a chance on the man of her dreams?
