I first met the ridiculously handsome Danny Diamond at a party some fifteen years ago. He had brilliant blue eyes, a sexy smirk, and a muscular body. We had a crazy, instant connection. So, I did what I had to do—threw myself in his direction and kissed him. And that kiss … was like a freaking fairy tale. At least it was until he stopped it because he was married. In my tipsy state, I replied with something cheesy like, “Don’t promise me forever, just promise me tonight.” And after a kiss like that, who could blame me? Clearly, I wasn’t thinking straight because I would never sleep with a married man. But in that moment, I kind of wanted to. I thought maybe we could be friends instead, but he couldn’t. He was a hotshot rookie quarterback with a wife and a new baby. He was living his dream. Right now, my life is not perfect. Sure, I’m an award-winning actress, and everyone thinks I’ve got this glamorous celebrity life—that is, until my longtime boyfriend is caught on video in an Amsterdam brothel, and our love becomes tabloid fodder. And that brings me to where I am now—hiding out from the paparazzi and staring at a shirtless, sweaty Danny, who is drinking milk from a carton at his neighbor’s house. I want to impulsively kiss him again because he looks even better than I remember, but I don’t. Because I don’t know that his marriage is over. Or that he feels the same way about me. Or that we might actually have a shot at that forever kind of love.

The last thing on professional quarterback Danny Diamond's mind is love. He's busy raising his children through a messy divorce and hoping to win his third championship ring. But when actress Jennifer Edwards moves in next door to hide out from the paparazzi, sparks fly just like they did when they first met years ago. Tropes: Hot single dad. Professional quarterback. Close proximity. Scheming ex. Second chance. I first met the gorgeous Jennifer Edwards at a party some fifteen years ago. She was funny and silly and adorable. We had a crazy, instant connection. But then she kissed me. And I did what I had to do—stopped it immediately because I was married. In her tipsy state, she replied with something like, “Don’t promise me forever, just promise me tonight.” And after a kiss like that, who could blame me if I kissed her? Clearly, I wasn’t thinking straight because I would never cheat on my wife. But in that moment, I was tempted. She thought maybe we could be friends instead, but I couldn’t. I was a hotshot rookie quarterback with a wife and a new baby. I was living my dream. No way was I going to screw that up. But now, my life is anything but perfect. Sure, I’ve got two championship rings, and I am gearing up for what could be the best season of my life, but my wife recently moved in with her lover, and I’m fighting for custody of our children. And that brings me to where I am now—looking down at the milk I spilled when I saw Jennifer standing in my best friend’s house. I have no idea why she is here … or if she’d be willing to give me another chance. Will I fumble my love life again? Or will I make the kind of play that will get me another ring?

Devaney Diamond’s summer break was shaping up to be the best one ever. Her longtime crush was finally interested in her, and by the time school rolled around in the fall, she knew he’d be her boyfriend. Just when their relationship is getting started, she finds out that she’s leaving on a three-week vacation to the Ozarks for some “good old-fashioned fun” with three generations of the Diamond and Mackenzie families. She’s not thrilled about being gone for that long, but she is looking forward to spending time doing nothing but getting a killer tan, finally learning to slalom ski, and hanging out with her best friend. She and Chase have always been close. He’s cute and sweet. Smart and responsible. He’s always there when she needs him. She loves him dearly, and if it wasn’t for their age, things might be different between them. But when Chase returns home from football camp with new muscles and a new attitude, she realizes something. Chase Mackenzie has gotten hot. And he doesn’t look like her little brother’s best friend anymore. Will this be the summer that Devaney and Chase fall in love, or will it be the summer that everything falls apart? Either way, it will be the summer that changes everything.

What happens to childhood promises when you grow up? Growing up, Devaney Diamond and Chase Mackenzie promised to go to college together. But it’s been two years since the summer that changed everything between them, and their friendship hasn’t recovered. Now, Dani is faced with all the challenges of her freshman year of college—navigating rush week, making new friends, and living on her own—which is both exhilarating and intimidating. In high school, Dani was homecoming queen and head cheerleader. She should be able to handle the pressure, but college has been more overwhelming than she expected. Chase, on the other hand, is living the dream. It’s his senior year of high school, his football team is hoping to go undefeated, and he’s being heavily recruited. When Dani returns home for a weekend, she realizes why college feels so overwhelming—she doesn’t have Chase to share it with. In hopes of salvaging their friendship, she repeats an old tradition—sneaking over to his room with pizza after his game. But instead of fixing their friendship, they end up sleeping together. Chase is thrilled that Dani is back in his life, but being friends with benefits when feelings are involved is more complicated than Chase imagined. Will Chase and Dani work through their feelings for one another, or will their childhood promise be shattered when Chase announces what college he will commit to?

Chase and Devaney’s story continues…. Set in a small Midwestern town, you'll fall in love with the Mackenzie and Diamond families, feel their heartbreaks and happiness, and will be cheering for them like your favorite college football team.
