"......I want her against that shower wall, with only my body weight pinning her up. This woman is mine, and I'll make her to feel like it at a base level...."
___________
A part of Ryder's past is now haunting him in cold, calculated ways. He could weather it on his own, as he's used to the pressure. But what about when it starts going after his love interest and sports therapist, Julie? She's still fighting for her brother's legacy, after all.
The two had never envisioned entering any kind of relationship when they first met, but here they are, in the same bed after a wild, intimate night.
And now the coach knows. And the shadow from Ryder's past begins to attack Julie, directly...and it will either break her, or bring them closer.
There can be no salvation without wreckage, although sometimes, the destruction is too great to repair what's been broken. Will Ryder's heart be able to handle the wreckage coming his way when his past takes the deepest punch they can throw? Or will Julie be the salvation that he needs?
