Brett Rivers built his reputation as the top sports agent in Chicago by never accepting failure. Rory Garrett runs a struggling food truck business and lives in the shadow of her superstar football player brother, one of Brett's most valuable clients. After one alcohol-fueled evening leads to consequences neither anticipated, their worlds collide in the worst possible way. A dead body appears. Rory's brother goes missing. Brett's career hangs in the balance while murder accusations swirl around them both. Rory sees Brett as everything wrong with professional sports, a man who values winning above all else. Brett knows Rory is completely off limits, the one woman who could destroy his carefully constructed empire. As danger closes in and their reputations crumble, they must work together to clear their names. Two people from opposite worlds discover that surviving might mean risking the one thing neither planned to lose: their hearts.
