She deserves more.
'I needed to stop giving my body to a guy who refused to give me anything more than his. And I definitely needed to stop giving my heart to a guy who didn't deserve it.' - Christina
Cole has always been confident in his decision not to seriously date anyone but when he finds his mind drifting to thoughts of Christina more than it usually does, he begins to question his theory. What if keeping her at arm's length is the one thing holding him back from being the best player he can be?
