Coming out of an abusive marriage, an acrimonious divorce, and being hunted by her ex, Kat Arnette feels she needs to move on. Yet, how does she start over?
Introduced by mutual friends, Jake Connors feels like he's caught one of his old football buddy's thrown Hail Mary's and run it in for a fifty yard touchdown when Kat finally agrees to date him. Even then, Jake knows that for both of them starting over is difficult and has no illusions she will be an easy win.
Although Jake has already been tried in marriage and not found wanting, Kat has, and thinks Jake deserves better, especially with the danger that follows her. Jake is warned to 'go slow.' A mantra against everything in his DNA where she is concerned, because he aims to change her tune.
