Dance for Forgiveness

Jack: I watch my best friend, so happy with the girl who flew halfway across the world for him, just so they could be together, and I wish I could find something similar. A girl I can love more than anything and who will be my rock, even through the hard times.

Because I know all about hard times right now. My health is in a terrible state, and it looks like I might have to give up rugby for good. And to top it all off, the tabloids are all over me, digging into my private life in a very unpleasant way.
Luckily, I met Riley, who seems like she could be the one…

Riley: A big, strong guy with dreadlocks flirting with me in a bar? Oh my God, and it’s Jack Parata, captain of the All Blacks! I’m so in, even if it’s just a fling. But no, it looks like it could turn into something more over time… The only thing is, I’ve got so much on my plate. I’m finishing school, I have to support myself, and on top of that, my wonderful brother has got himself into some kind of trouble, disappeared, and left me to sort it all out for him.
Why can nothing ever go smoothly? Why can a person never have it all?
