After a bomb blast ended her career with the military, Alice Liddell arrives at a veterans' retreat in hopes of healing. The last person she expects to stumble upon is pro-football quarterback Micah Palmer. Even more surprising, she forms a friendship with this fellow lost soul.
Since his injury a year ago, Micah Palmer has struggled with addiction and recovery. He agrees to volunteer at the veterans' retreat for good PR but after meeting Alice, his attention shifts from his own needs to helping her. When he begins training with Alice for the approaching football season, he discovers the challenge benefits them both.
While Micah works to break down her defenses, Alice is determined never to lose her heart. But the charming football star might be the one man strong enough to ensure she no longer has to take on life alone.

Excerpt:
Despite attempts to block him from
her mind, Alice thought back to Micah’s goodbye, and her heart burned with
resentment. How could he pack his things and leave? Had she been wrong in
believing he was different?
As she walked across the yard to the
main house, she felt a tap on her shoulder. Alice jumped, and her heart crashed
into her ribcage with a startled jolt. Moving totally by instinct, she grabbed
the offending arm and twisted. With her other arm, she elbowed the person in
the ribs, causing him to grunt before dropping to the ground. She
glanced down to see the prostrate
form of Micah.
“What was that for?” He groaned. “I thought
you’d be happy I stayed.”
“Oh my…” she choked out. “I didn’t
know it was you. Never sneak up on a soldier.” Alice knelt beside him and
brushed a hand over his head. “I’m sorry, Micah.”
He rested on his side. “I think you
broke a rib.” Tears formed in his eyes.
He’d only recovered from one injury.
Now, with a shot from her elbow, she’d dealt him another setback. If he
couldn’t start training camp, she’d be at fault. “Where is the pain? Should I
call an ambulance? I can’t believe I just hurt you.”
Huffing out a laugh, he wrapped his
arms across his chest. “I’m fine, Alice. Don’t call 911.”
She had a strong desire to erase the
grin off his face. Instead, she rolled him over with her foot so he gazed
upward as she towered over him. “Someone will have to dial 911 after I’m done
with you.”
“Please be merciful.” He pressed his
hands together like in prayer. “I’m staying…which means I’m all yours for the
next week, whether you want me or not.”
