She spent her life fighting for middle ground, and now that she’s found it, she’ll fight for her life.
Ember Brooks yearns for an end to the dark chapters of her life—abusive mother, negligent father, teenage trauma, and sibling suicide. Determined to escape her traumatic past, Ember is finally headed for solid ground, gathering strength and balance with the help of her trusted counselor and friend, Xander Kane.
Still reeling from the death of her brother, Ember finds solace when Manchester Marauders center, Owen Killion goes on the offensive and barrels into her life.

But for a girl continually left on the sidelines, can she leave her heart on the line?
When Ember is the victim of increasingly dangerous incidents, and Xander changes the course of their relationship, once more her life spirals out of control.
Ember trusts Owen to guard their love, but when someone else is calling the shots, can they reach the end zone or will they fumble?

LORI'S 5 STAR REVIEW:
If you followed my progress comments, you all know I HATED Xander from the first page. So glad he kept my hatred going throughout the whole book! Lol this is the first time I have read writings by Jillian Jacobs, got this book as an ARC for an honest review. I didn't completely read the synopsis of the book, so I wasn't quite sure what was getting into with this new author. OH MY! I hated Xander from the get go, but Owen, well he's another story. Ember peaked his interest from the second he laid eyes on her during the commercial shoot. Xander just plain creeped me out. Every time it was Xander's time to "talk" I got creepy chills. The things he did to Ember were terrible and unforgivable. The kindness Owen showed to her time and time again proved to her that she was worthy of good things happening to her after the life she grew up loving. Xander tried to make her some "perfect pet" for himself because he thought she owed it to him for all the therapy and counseling he had done for her. CREEPY! Can you see I did not like Xander in the least. And once you read this book, I don't think u will eithera Rafflecopter giveaway
