Cal Sanderson has fought tooth and nail to play professionally for the California Cyclones. Where others have had it easy, he's had to endure years of pain working his way up the ranks to obtain his level of success. Nothing else seems to stand in his way of reaching for the stars until a shoulder dislocation forces his future into the hands of none other than Anastasia Calloway, the physical therapist he tries to avoid at all costs. The touch of any woman threatens the memories of his past to come back in full force, but Anastasia's hands seem to find a way of bringing them directly to the surface. Soon, there becomes a distinct difference between pain and pleasure, and Cal is forced to choose between working through his demons or losing the career he's worked his entire life for.
