Knoxville Coyotes rookie, West Crawford, is a celebrated, lightning-fast football god on the field. Off the field? He's my ex-boyfriend and greatest heartache. I didn't think long-distance would break us when West was drafted to Tennessee, and I was called home to Paris for a family emergency. But it did. Fast-forward six months and West is playing in the Superbowl, I'm rooting for him to win, and our worlds re-collide. Celebrating West's success is supposed to be a one-night, free-for-all that ends with closure. Instead, it births a new beginning. Literally. I'm having a baby with my ex, our lives are still thousands of miles apart, and nothing has changed. I mean, except the obvious. Between West's flourishing career, my familial responsibilities abroad, and a positive pregnancy test that surprises us both, our relationship is bound to be sacked before it has the chance to soar.

Eleven years later, Sonny is the star quarterback headed for the Super Bowl despite amazing bad luck that has earned him the nickname Sonny Black Cloud. When someone mentions that the bad luck must stem from someone he failed in the past, the first name that comes to mind is Mandy's. He tracks her down at the small university...

Especially not when he’s convinced Ellie is the one.   ...but he's never met her before. But Ellie isn't as sure. She's trying to start a new life and she's not interested in a relationship...with anyone. Beside it's not just her cardinal rule of never dating her brother's teammates that keeps her away, but Ellie has a dark secret that would jeopardize everything Knox is pursuing.  Knox has no intention of losing. Ellie has no intention of giving in.**
