They met by accident-in chaos. At twenty-five, Brielle Price has learned what it feels like to pour years into something that was never meant to last. Fresh out of physical therapy school, she's focused on healing, rebuilding, and climbing forward in her career. Love is no longer a priority. Stability is. Perseverance is. And for the first time, she's choosing herself. Andre Carter, also twenty-five, is fresh off his rookie contract in the NFL and stepping into a new chapter of his life. Focused, disciplined, and painfully aware of how quickly everything can be taken away, he moves with caution. Labeled a golden boy by the world around him, Andre knows better than to believe the hype-or tempt fate. One drunken night in Houston brings their paths together in the middle of chaos, neither aware of the impact that fleeting moment will have on their carefully laid plans. Some encounters are brief. Others linger... Waiting for the right time to return.
