    About this audiobook

    Learning how to fly stole my childhood, and accomplishing my dreams took my parents.

    After my parents' death, taking care of my little brother and running my dance studio are the only things I've got time for in my hectic life. Until Declan Sinclair. As the number one draft pick for the Philadelphia Kings, he's not afraid of putting in a little hard work to get what he wants. And he wants me. I don't know if my heart can survive falling in love.

    All the best games are won in inches, not yards, and I'm gonna earn this win inch by inch.

    I've spent my life working toward one goal. Playing professional football. Until Annabelle Hart. She's fierce, loyal, and the strongest woman I've ever met. I knew she was meant to be mine the first time I saw her. But knowing that and making it happen are two very different things.

    Will this beautiful ballerina let me earn her love?

      My grandfather came to live with me. There was nowhere else for him to go. What had happened to all his children? Death, decay, exile—I hardly know. My own parents died of pain. But I must not be too gloomy, at the beginning, or you will leave me, an
