J.C. Wylde--The Wylde Man--was on top of the game as a World Series winning pitcher for the Long Beach Herons until a devastating injury sidelined him and just may end his career. Caroline Cleary, a nurse practitioner who grew up competing with two older brothers, is the star quarterback for the Sandusky She-Devils women's football team. Both J.C. and Caroline are competitors--on and off the field. When J.C. returns home to Lakeport, Ohio to recuperate, he and Caro are thrown into an entirely new game that neither one is prepared to play.
