Isaiah Bryant left five years ago and couldn't look back.

Aurora Matthews has spent those five years wondering if the rest of her life will be spent trying to fill the void.

For the most part, Aurora loves her life. She's the captain of the Philadelphia Royals, a professional women's soccer team, with a once in a lifetime chance at selection for the women's national team. The women she plays with are more like sisters than teammates and her family, though chaotic, is always by her side. Years of hard work, her fathers coaching, sweat and tears—it's all paid off. Aurora has earned her spot on every team. Has earned her spot in the game.

And yet…that space will not fill.

No matter how many tournament wins, awards won, trophies raised…she cannot deny that she misses him.

Isaiah Bryant left five years ago and couldn't look back.

Not if he ever wanted to come back. His brother left without a word. The pressure from his mom was a heavy weight and combined with an innate fear of self-inflicted failure, at eighteen he felt the weight of the world and didn't know how to escape it.

When he returns like a ghost in the night, Aurora is left to decide what's next. Does she try to rekindle the friendship—the love—they once shared? Or does she protect the fragile heart she's had to re-build? Isaiah isn't one to give up easily. He left and now he's back. For her. The only girl he's ever loved.

Can he win her back? Will she let him? Love is a game. Who's going to win?
