What happens when a born winner STARTS LOSING IN LIFE?

From a young age, Jalen Thompson’s whole identity was wrapped up in his rare athletic ability to play both football and basketball at a high level.

The knee injury he experienced in college took not just his future in the NFL, but his whole identity from him. Putting the ball down had been one of the hardest things he ever had to go through.

But now, at the age of 29, he is about to go through another one of the biggest challenges of his life. He’s newly married to his college sweetheart and first and only love, Angie, the woman who knew him back when stadiums chanted his name.

What happens when multiple outside forces start threatening Jalen’s confidence and sense of security?

Jalen knows how to play defense to win a game, but he’s never learned to fight for a marriage.

This book is for former athletes, sports fans, and anyone who ENJOYS READING a beautiful romance....
