Evan Abernathy is starting a new season with the Pittsburgh Riveters. This is his shot to prove he belongs in the big leagues, and he’s determined to make it count.
There’s just one problem: his new linemate. Riley Barczyk is a league pest, seasoned brawler…and the guy who injured Evan last season.
Evan sure hasn’t forgotten, but it seems Riley has.
Now Riley’s offering to teach Evan how to fight. Worse, Evan could use the help. But all that one-on-one time with someone he can barely stand? That’s asking for trouble. It was supposed to be about learning to fight, not falling for the guy throwing the punches.
