Kolani is a determined young writer chasing the impossible. She dreams of becoming a bestselling author and eventually turning her writing career into a billion-dollar empire. New York is supposed to be the beginning of her new life. Maxwell Carter is living a completely different dream. As a talented college football player with a growing reputation, he is surrounded by attention, expectations, and opportunities. But behind the magazine covers and football stadium lights is a young man who has been in love with the same woman since high school. Amanda knows Maxwell better than anyone or at least she thought she did. They grew up together. They experienced their first kiss after prom. They shared their first intimate romantic moments as teenagers. Now that they are in college, Amanda believes their relationship is heading toward a beautiful future. Then Kolani arrives and hat begins as an innocent meeting slowly develops into a powerful emotional connection. Maxwell finds himself drawn to Kolani's intelligence, creativity, determination, and the way she sees the world through stories. Kolani never intended to fall for a football player who already had a girlfriend. Maxwell never intended to question the relationship he had built for years. And Amanda never expected the woman she barely knew to become the biggest threat to her future. As Maxwell's football career grows and Kolani's writing dreams begin turning into reality, the three of them become caught in a complicated emotional battle where love, loyalty, ambition, and heartbreak collide.
