Damon Park is officially benched.
After a crushing career setback overseas, he’s back in NYC licking his wounds and watching his brothers live their happily-ever-afters. His comeback plan is

Find an apartment. Get a job coaching high school basketball. Climb his way up to the big leagues. Love? That’s a hard pass, at least until he’s got his life together.

Kendra Gray is done playing nice.
Fresh off a headline-making divorce, she’s ready for the next phase of her career as a plus-size supermodel… and to indulge in a little no-strings-attached fun. What she’s not ready for is a brooding ex-athlete with a protective streak and a heart way too tempting for her own good.

When Damon and Kendra meet at one of her last big runway shows, the chemistry is instant—and inconvenient. He thinks she’s out of his league. She thinks he’s too serious. They agree to keep things platonic… until late-night texts, and “just friends” starts to feel a lot like fate.

He’s rebuilding. She’s redefining. Ready or not, this just might be love.
