# ACE AND T
### Sometimes the person you're meant to be with has been there all along
NFL linebacker Ashley "Ace" Courney has it all-a successful career with the Detroit Guardians, a luxury apartment in the heart of the city, and millions of adoring fans. But the one thing he doesn't have is the courage to tell his best friend that he's been in love with her since middle school.
Tatum Stafford has always played it safe, especially in relationships. With her wedding just months away, she thinks she's finally found stability with her architect fiancé. Until she catches him in a betrayal so devastating it sends her fleeing across state lines in the middle of the night-straight to the only person she knows will catch her when she falls.
When Tatum shows up at Ace's door at 3 AM with her engagement ring on the dashboard and her life in shambles, it's the disruption they've both secretly needed. As roommates, they navigate the awkward transition from lifelong friends to something teetering on the edge of more, while Ace hides the feelings he's harbored for decades and Tatum confronts the patterns that led her to one heartbreak after another.
With training camp intensifying and Tatum's ex demanding answers, the pressure mounts from all sides. Ace knows this might be his only shot at the love he's always wanted, but confessing could cost him the friendship he can't live without. Tatum finds herself questioning everything she thought she knew about love, including whether what she's been looking for has been standing right in front of her all along.
In this story of second chances and first loves, Ace and Tatum must decide if they're willing to risk their perfect friendship for the promise of a perfect love.
