There's just one problem - he's taken a keen interest in his Coach's daughter and can't afford the distraction or any further burdens. But resisting her and focusing on his torturous reality is easier said than done. Quiet and shy Emily Resnick leads a simple life as an elementary teacher. Or she did, until her father took the talented and outrageously handsome Jaxon Cage under his wing. Now, she finds herself consumed by the dark and brooding but secretly soft-hearted man. She was a goner for him the second she saw the devotion he gave to his daughter and new-found job. As she discovers the many layers to this difficult man, she can't help but want to ease his burdens and carry his demons. She can't help but want him, period. Jaxon is intent on pushing her away, though, and Emily must decide if she should run from the inevitable destruction of her heart while she can, or fight for the fighter.

When both mafias are faced with a dangerous threat, they're forced to work together to protect their families, and unexpected sparks fly.

As we walked into the hospital, I saw a tall strong man sitting down in the waiting room. He looked hurt, his lip was busted and he had bruises all over his face. He was handsome, as I walked towards him our eyes connected. Piercing blue beautiful eyes, his hair perfectly fell onto his face. "Nat, I am going to go help him" I said as I walked away from her. "Hi, I'm Ms. Hernandez." I said as I was directly in front of him. "I'm Luca, Luca Lombardi" he said while maintaining strong eye contact.
