He was her first love. She was the one thing he was never supposed to want again.

Fifteen years ago, JuMarion “Juvie” Ross disappeared from Savannah Mercer’s life without an explanation, leaving behind a broken heart, unanswered questions, and a love neither time nor distance could completely erase. Now, he’s one of Major League Baseball’s biggest stars. Rich, reckless, and dangerously charming, Juvie has everything a man could want. At least, that’s what the world believes.

Behind the fame, fortune, and flashing cameras lies a life built on secrets, obligations, and choices that were never his to make.

Savannah Mercer has spent years building a name for herself in the cutthroat world of sports management. Successful, outspoken, and happily involved with another man, she’s long since buried the girl who once loved Juvie Ross. When an unexpected business opportunity puts them on the same team, old feelings resurface, boundaries blur, and the chemistry they once shared becomes impossible to ignore.

But Juvie didn’t come back into Savannah’s life by accident. And the closer he gets to the woman he’s never stopped loving, the harder it becomes to protect her from a world she knows nothing about.

Some secrets don’t stay buried, some debts can’t be paid with money; and loving Savannah Mercer might be the one thing Juvie Ross can’t survive.
