They say there's no such thing as second chances...
Troy: I'm a country-boy at heart. The only thing I ever wanted to do – the only thing I could do – was play football. So when I made it to the top I lived the way any other guy with a multi-million dollar contract and a bumper crop of willing women would. Sure, I knew the party wouldn't go on forever. I just didn't know it would end so abruptly – or that I would be the one ending it. I didn't know I was going to fall in love... Anna doesn't know the truth. She doesn't know I only did what I did to protect her. Now all I have to do is break down the brick wall she's built around her heart and make her understand that my life doesn't mean anything without her in it. Easy, right? Anna: I didn't even know who Troy Beckman was when I met him on that chilly autumn night in New York City. All I knew was I'd just gotten the worst news of my life and I needed something – anything – to take my mind off the fact that all those brutal hours in the ballet studio might have been for nothing. I should have paid more attention. I should have known. Maybe I could have avoided having my face splashed all over the tabloids and my reputation ruined? All I know is he made me feel things I'd never felt before and he met needs I didn't even know I had... And then he abandoned me. Now I've got a broken heart, a phone full of unanswered calls and a belly getting bigger by the day. Do I dare trust the man who caused all three?
