Basketball captain Jaydee Salcedo has always been the kind of man who burns brightly-arrogant, reckless, and impossible to ignore. Beneath his cocky grin, however, is someone who never hesitates to stand up for those who can't fight for themselves. It's the reason people admire him... and the reason he unknowingly changed someone's life years ago. Then Damien Monterey walks into his life. Two years older, cold, ruthless, and temporarily taking over as the team's coach, Damien seems determined to make Jaydee's life miserable. Every practice becomes a battle, every punishment feels personal, and every encounter pushes Jaydee closer to losing his temper. One drunken night, fueled by frustration and too much alcohol, Jaydee makes a mistake he'll never forget. He wakes up in the bed of the man he hates most. What Jaydee doesn't know is that years ago, he unknowingly saved a lonely, forgotten boy from a group of bullies-and that boy never forgot him.
