A good love story always begins the same way. 

A chance meeting. 

A sizzling look. 

A flat tire… 

Dani Miner could have been voted least likely to be a damsel in distress. 

Tabor Hunter should have been voted most likely to do the rescuing. 

So when Dani gets a flat tire on her way home one evening, she is, at first, less than thrilled to be helped out by a man that is clearly too charming for his own good. Even if he is handsome. And buff. And the king of the thousand watt smile. 

However, prickly Dani is eventually charmed by her hottie knight in shining sunglasses. And a brief moment spent on the side of the road on a hot summer evening quickly leads to a first date. 

But what Dani doesn’t realize is that she has just agreed to go out with the very famous defensive end for the San Diego Quakes. And Tabor is thrilled to finally meet a woman who doesn’t fall at his overly athletic feet. This year's most valuable player is excited to have a chance to be an ordinary guy with a less than ordinary woman. 

But being a celebrity can put a real kink in your love life and Dani, a woman used to a much quieter life, is soon caught up in the high paced world of fame and football. 

Falling in love is easy. Falling in love with a sports star is another story. 

Can Dani figure out how to play the game before she fumbles her chance at happiness?
