Jesse Falcon has dedicated his life to 1 trigger: to fight whatever has taken a lot from him.

He’s learned the hard method that if you’d like something to be achieved, you have to do it yourself. No more looking forward to others to produce a difference. With football, a pre-med program, and a coveted internship, he does not have any time for anything or anyone else. The truth is, he doesn’t think his hardly healed heart can take it.

Despite his determination to remain distant, he soon finds a girl who will not only fracture that resolve but shatter it completely.

Zoe Evans can be an average scholar. She has a group of friends, and plenty of gossip lingers in the halls to make her times interesting. Her entire world changes in a heartbeat though-one blackout, and a week-long fever forces her right into a fight she isn’t prepared to fight. The odds are stacked against her. Will she have the strength to prevail?
