Grant McQuaid has dedicated his entire life to his football career. Now an injury threatens his place on the team and heโs forced to return home to rehabilitate. But when he meets his โbiggest fan,โ a precocious, blue-eyed, hearing impaired boy named Jamesโand his beautiful mother, BethanyโGrant begins to question whether football is the future he still wants.
Bethany Mills has been doing just fine since her husband walked out on themโฆ and she definitely doesnโt need another man to disappoint herโor her son. But when James runs into his hero at the park, Bethany admits there is a void in her sonโs life that she just canโt fill. Her attraction to the handsome football star is undeniable, but a man in the limelight is the last thing she wants for herself, or James.
Grant doesnโt want to subject Bethany to the chaos of dating a professional athlete. But the more time he spends with her and James, the harder it is to resist making a play for her heartโฆ
