Just when she starts to believe in him again, Christian's past resurfaces, forcing him to confront the one thing he swore he'd never let touch his future. And instead of leaning on Iris, he shuts her out completely. Now, the walls she had started to tear down are back up; stronger than ever.

Because in both love and (Canadian) football, you only have 3 Chances . YOU DO NOT NEED TO READ DESIGNING FOREVER TO READ THIS!
