Working alongside the football team famous player is walking a dangerous line, but some lines are meant to be crossed.
Tessa Dalca has the odds stacked against her: she's attending college on an academic scholarship while holding down three part-time jobs, she owes an astronomical amount of money for medical bills, and her father is barely able to take care of himself. The financial and emotional burden she caused her family years ago still haunts her-and it makes things even worse that her mother is no longer around for Tessa to prove her worth to. But her father is, and earning his unconditional love is all that matters.
When the captain of the university's football team, Logan Hamilton, asks Tessa to assist him in a fundraising project, she can't afford to turn down another paying job, despite knowing that being in close proximity to a player-in every sense of the word-is walking a dangerous line.
Despite Tessa's refusal to date Logan, no matter how often he asks, he soon proves himself to be more than the Golden Boy player everyone says he is. He works hard for what he believes in, is loyal and charming, and above all, he shows Tessa what unconditional support and love really mean. But to Tessa, love feels like the ultimate concoction of being powerful and powerless all at the same time, and she's not sure if she can trust herself-or him-enough to place this power in Logan's hands. With every scorching touch and lustful kiss, Logan devours her will to resist.
When Tessa's dad makes a decision that could break them both, Tessa blames herself for being distracted from her goal of paying the debt-financial and emotional-she owes to her father. But there's one major problem: in this pursuit, Tessa begins to lose sight of what really matters. And if she's not careful, she might lose everyone who is important to her, including herself.
