A confident business owner looking for a no-strings hookup sets her sights on the one man who could complicate everything: her brother's best friend and former baseball star Luke Rodgers. When Luke agrees to her proposition, the chemistry between them is undeniable—but soon he's ready to trade his player status for something real, while she's wrestling with whether he can actually be trusted with her heart. Their steamy game of give-and-take becomes a battle between desire and fear as Luke fights to prove he's ready to hang up his cleats for good. Perfect for anyone craving that delicious tension between a reformed bad boy and a woman brave enough to take a chance on love.

Steamy southern nights with undeniable chemistry—sultry R&B, confident indie pop, and smoky country ballads. Desire meets vulnerability. Think Chris Brown, Sabrina Carpenter, Colter Wall. Sensual yet tender, playful yet intense. A soundtrack for stolen glances and hearts at war with themselves.
