Ignoring that hard-learned lesson put Dahl Baby Hamilton straight in the path of her famous ex. All she has to do is save her cousin's failing restaurant, First Down, then she can go back to her fabulous life. But the main financier—Bane Carter, her ex—finds out and decides to make her life a living hell.

It's bad enough that he has to navigate around a dysfunctional team, but the recent passing of his brother and his wife have given him full guardianship of their kids. On top of all that, the last thing he needs is to bump into the woman who broke his heart at the worst possible time—the beginning of his career. After two failed marriages, Bane realizes he has always been searching for the one who got away the first time. Of course, he doesn't expect to find her in the same city, let alone cooking in his restaurant.

Everything comes easy to quarterback Gavin Knox—women, football, even money. However, the only thing he truly wants but can't win is the beauty of his dreams, Remy Bell. A simple favor to save the girl turns into the quarterback losing his heart. As beautiful as she is fun, Remy Bell has only one problem—a psychotic killer with political power wants her dead. Always a two steps ahead' type of gal, she plans to outrun the maniac. Marriage and a sweet life in the football star's hometown in Canada would give her the cover she needs, but Remy doesn't stick around long enough to find out. She travels all over the world, photographing the most beautiful and devastating events, but her now-husband's tabloid activities lead her to the one place she should avoid...back home. Superstar Gavin Knox wins at everything. However, once he scores the girl of his dreams, he's suddenly in danger of losing the one thing he has always needed. Before she can slip through his fingers, he offers her a deal she can't refuse—marry him for Canadian citizenship, which will protect her, and after five years, they can divorce. Knox is positive that she will fall head over heels in love with him, but it doesn't happen. After six years of marriage, two playoff titles and a third on the way, Knox is forced to contend with a successful wife almost more famous than he is. Determined to get exactly what he wants, which includes having Remy and a family, he devises a stupid scheme that puts everything he's worked so hard for in jeopardy.
