Love. It has the power to consume, to hurt, to heal. Love has the power to change everything. In the game of basketball, Jayson Williams knows how to win. When it comes to matters of the heart, he's way out of his league. But that doesn't stop him from going after what he wants, and he wants her. The moment he laid eyes on Brooke, he knew she had to be his. No matter what it took, he was going to win the heart of Brooke Thomas.Brooke is a master at playing defense, especially where Jayson's attempts to win her over are concerned. Since moving to Paradise Cove, she's kept her circle small and her focus on her art. Her vision of the future isn't clear, but she does know she shouldn't be on anyone's radar, especially anyone like Jayson. When Jayson's presence seems to be unavoidable, Brooke doesn't know which way to turn. No attempts at shoving him away persuade him past his one pursuit, and the more time Brooke spends with Jayson, the more he becomes important to her in ways she could have never imagined.Jayson is everything Brooke's ever wanted. Brooke is everything Jayson's vowed to be good enough for. When push comes to pull, the strength of their bond will be tested, and only one question remains: Is their relationship the forever kind worth fighting for?
