When confidence turns to frustration…
A new beginning awaits Heather Jennings. The position at Clemson means she will finally
realize her dream of coaching basketball. Heather is ready to focus on her duties, using sheer force if necessary to prove
her independence.
Sadly, her triumph is hampered as father and greatest advocate lies dying of
cancer. Battling her grief, she must also deal with a sister who appears incapable of responsibility or achievement. And once
basketball season begins, a talented but cocky player who resembles her in every manner challenges all that remains of Heather’s
patience.
Heather’s life changes when she encounters a man capable of handling her bold
and feisty attitude. Straightforward and smug, he entices her to date him, and despite his gruff nature shows a great capacity
for compassion. However, the last thing Heather needs is a serious relationship with a man equally fixated on work and opposed
to marriage…

No awards for second best…
A student at Georgia Tech, Sarah Martin is
bold, intelligent, and appears destined for a career in biochemistry. But her poor self-image has been masked by behavior
unbecoming to a young lady brought up in an affluent Southern family. Estranged from her father, envious of her best friend’s
perfect life, Sarah feels inadequate and unable to measure up to expectations.
When a friendship suddenly turns romantic,
Sarah questions herself even more. A future NFL receiver, Matt’s joyful spirit and social status appear beyond her reach.
Yet beneath his eager smile and playboy antics lies a young man hiding in shadows and desperate to trust again.
Faced with challenges, they must help each other come
to terms with past disappointments before insecurities and doubt threaten to sabotage their future.
