His last brawl on the football field during a prime-time game was the final straw.

But immediately after, Rip returned to the NFL and was on the road leaving no time for Gil. Now Rip wants to come back into Gil's life one more time, this time to not only make a future with him, but to finally admit who he really is deep down inside. After hiding his sexual preference since he was a teen, Rip realizes he's made too many bad choices along the way. It's time to make the right choice with Gil. But is Gil ready to forgive Rip for keeping him at a distance? And more importantly, after two false starts, can they finally live happily ever after?
