MVP forward Bryson Svoboda and soccer star Jo Hamilton are both at their breaking points—but neither will admit it. Seeking solitude, they each retreat to their families’ shared mountain house. But old friends must still think alike because they find each other there instead.

What starts as an escalating prank war soon unearths long-buried tensions from their past. When one prank goes too far, their rivalry cracks, forcing them to confront the feelings they’ve avoided for years.

Their secluded escape turns into something deeper, but when Bryson’s teammates and the ever-watchful D.C. Renegades captain, Felix Fornier, arrives, reality crashes in. With professional obligations looming and miles between them, Bryson and Jo must decide if they’re ready to commit, not just to love, but to showing up for each other every day.
