Ryland Parks is a phenomenal football player with a bright future ahead of him. As the Crescent Falls Sharks’ starting Left Tackle, Ryland has the city behind him and endless access to the privileges his status and career afford him as a pro athlete.

Unfortunately, he also has far too many viral moments and headlines attached to his name. That combination could possibly mean a trade from the only team he’s ever suited up for. While facing a potential consequence for his outlandish antics, Ryland learns that he has a sister, deaf, six-year-old who’s been abandoned by their biological mother. He’s instantly compelled to not only change his life’s course to save his career, but gain custody of his baby sister.

However, just like on the field, he encounters an obstacle hellbent on keeping him from achieving that goal.

Somee Cole has always been an advocate for her students. Born deaf, she understands what it’s like to exist in silence but also believes her world isn’t defined by her inability to hear. When one of her favorite students, Rylee Parks, goes absent for too long, Somee could have never imagined what would become their fate. She immediately intervenes, ensuring that the child has a safe, secure, and nurturing environment.

Somee’s kindness lands her on the radar of the broody and determined NFL player who refuses to allow his sister to be pawned off on her teacher. Somee and Ryland have a common goal—Rylee’s success and happiness—but wanting what’s best for her places them on opposing sides while forcing them together. With an attraction that can’t be denied, life quickly gets interesting for Ryland and Somee.

In order to ensure Rylee’s easeful transition into her brother’s world, an offer is made. Somee will come to Crescent Falls to help Rylee settle into her new life. Along the way, two people with a common goal of ensuring the best life for one little girl persistently fight chemistry and a connection that cannot be defined. What Somee doesn’t know is that Ryland is determined to make their temporary solution a permanent resolution.

Guarded and cautious, Somee is determined not to fall, but Ryland is even more determined to show her that his protective instincts extend far beyond the field.

Makari Phoenix and Omiri Hayes shared an unforgettable night that eventually changed the trajectory of their future.

She left that mistake and the man she shared it with in the past. However, a year later their worlds collide again and Makari has kept a secret that will turn the NFL superstar’s world upside down.

That secret shares unique eyes identical to his…

Omiri Hayes is an NFL great and tortured soul. His money, access, and secrets from his past create a perfect storm for reckless decisions. When Omiri crosses paths with the one who got away, he’s determined not to fumble the opportunity to prove he isn't the same man she crept out on a year ago. He's ready to fight for what he wants… his family.

Makari isn’t looking for his money, fame, or promises. The only demand she has is for Omiri to prove he can be the man their daughter needs him to be. Despite Omiri’s charming ways, Makari doesn’t trust his motives yet realizes some connections can’t be denied.

Omiri has to prove he can be the MVP for the two people who matter most to him, even if it means facing his demons. Makari has her own game plan that doesn't include getting blindsided by feelings for her child’s father.

Unfortunately, they’ve both already lost yardage with continual flags on the play of their tenuous connection working overtime to keep them out of the end zone. The drive downfield may not be pretty but Makari and Omiri are determined to score and seal the win.
