Jesse Falcon has dedicated his life to one cause: to fight against that which has taken so much from him.

He's learned the hard way that if you want something to be done, you have to do it yourself. No more waiting for others to make a difference.

With football, a pre-med program and a coveted internship, he has no time for anything or anyone else. The truth is, he doesn't think his barely healed heart can take it.

Despite his determination to remain distant, he soon meets Zoe Evans who will not only fracture that resolve but shatter it completely.
