Aisling Dempsey has spent her life surviving - holding her siblings together, keeping the peace in a house that's falling apart, and never letting anyone see how close she is to breaking.
Rory Kavanagh has spent his life winning - captain of the rugby team, future star, golden boy with everything ahead of him.
They were never supposed to matter to each other.
What begins as sharp banter and reluctant attention turns into something far more dangerous when Rory starts seeing the truth behind Aisling's strength - and Aisling realizes caring about him could cost him everything.
But when her world begins to collapse and a betrayal shatters the fragile trust between them, Rory is forced to choose between the future he's always wanted... and the girl he can't walk away from.
Some fights are played on the field.
Some are fought for survival.
And some are fought for love.
She's spent years resisting him.
He's never stopped choosing her.
