Does the name Alex Dare ring a bell? Well I’m the guy who rang his bell—literally. My name is Rival McGuire, and my career soared to new heights while his crumbled into retirement from the head injury I dished out. My father’s proudest moment. The moment I’ve been trying to forget. Now, if I can learn to live with the man I’ve become, maybe I can find the happiness I’ve been searching for my entire life with one incredible woman, Lennon Mayes. She says she loves me for the man I am, not the man everyone else thinks I am. Can I believe her? I don’t know. I have no idea if I can become the man she thinks I am. But if I don’t figure it out soon, I’ll lose more than the hunger I left behind on the gridiron that day. I’ll lose her.
