Elliot Harper thought he had buried the past. A decade after Jake Wilder shattered his heart and walked away, Elliot rebuilt his life—focusing on his career, his routines, and the certainty that he'd never have to see the man who left him again.

But fate has other plans.

Jake is back. Not just in town, but in Elliot's world—standing at the helm of the Palmetto Braves as their new head coach. The same Jake Wilder who became a household name while Elliot spent years piecing himself back together. The same Jake who still has the power to unearth every raw, unhealed wound with just a glance.

Thrust together by circumstance and bound by their shared love of the game, Elliot and Jake try to keep their interactions professional. But old wounds clash with unresolved chemistry, and every encounter crackles with tension—anger, attraction, and something far more dangerous... hope.

Jake wants a second chance, but Elliot refuses to play a game where the rules are stacked against him. He knows better than to trust the man who once left him behind. Yet, the more they collide—on the field, in coffee shops, in stolen moments laced with lingering heat—the more Elliot wonders: Can people really change?

With their reputations, careers, and hearts on the line, Elliot and Jake are running out of time to decide whether love is worth the risk—or if some pasts are best left buried.

🔥 For fans of sizzling slow-burn romance, second chances, and undeniable chemistry that refuses to fade.

Can love rewrite the playbook, or will history repeat itself?
