EMMETT From the moment I met Stella Wilder on the first day of kindergarten, I knew she'd be a part of me forever. We were inseparable, slowly falling for one another more with each passing year. The summer before we went to college on opposite sides of the country, she made me the happiest man alive by agreeing to be my wife. But it wasn't long before it all fell apart. It's been over seven years, and just when I think I've finally found my place with Cleveland's brand-new football team, she crashes back into my life and turns everything upside down. STELLA When I was a teenager, I couldn't imagine my life without Emmett Hayes. I had everything planned-get married, go to nursing school while he made his football dreams a reality, and live happily ever after. But I was young and dumb, letting a small seed of doubt grow until it led me to make the biggest mistake of my life. Not a day has gone by that I haven't thought about what could've been. But when fate puts his injured teammate in my care, I'm forced to face the reality of what I lost. Has the time apart closed the door on our happy ending-or is there still a chance to make it right?
