A man who's gained fortune and fame. A woman who's known heartbreak and despair. A second chance for a couple who went their separate ways years ago... As a wide receiver for the Dallas Cowboys, West Sutherland walks away at the peak of his career, ready to find a quieter life in his hometown of Hawthorne, Texas. He's hired by his former high school coach and mentor and will have a place on the Hawks' coaching staff next year. He's surprised to find Kelby Blackstone in town, the girl he's never forgotten.

They decide to explore what they missed out on the first time, finding their shared past and old friendship soon grows into deep feelings for one another.
