Sabrina Beaumont built her career on control. As the head of a powerhouse marketing firm, she knows how to strategize, negotiate, and close the deal-without letting emotions get in the way. But when her latest client turns out to be Justin Jefferson, the man who walked out of her life four years ago, she's forced to play a dangerous game. Justin has spent years at the top of the league, but no amount of wins have erased his biggest loss-Sabrina. Their history is messy, their breakup even messier, and now that they're back in each other's orbit, the tension between them is impossible to ignore. What starts as a professional arrangement quickly turns into something far more complicated. The stolen glances, the lingering touches, the sharp words that cut too close to the truth-it's all still there, waiting to implode. But Sabrina isn't the same girl who once believed in forever, and Justin isn't the same boy who let her go without a fight. Lines blur. Boundaries break. And the closer they get, the more Sabrina realizes that walking away this time might not be as easy as it was before. Because love, like football, is a game of inches. And she's already too far past the line to turn back.
