Vision of Love, (Paperback)

Tariq Cross has it all-fame, fortune, and a fiancée on his arm. As the league's golden-boy quarterback, he dominates on the field and basks in the spotlight off it, his arrogance as legendary as his talent. But when a routine play leaves him with a devastating, career-ending injury, Tariq's world unravels. His teammates pull away, the fans move on, and even Talia, the woman he thought would stand by him, begins to slip out of reach. Enter Erika Hall, a makeup artist and student specializing in coping management for sports injuries while also in school for ophthalmology. Erika is nothing like the people Tariq is used to-she doesn't fawn over him, doesn't care about his fame, and refuses to indulge his ego. Where others see a fallen star, she sees a man at a crossroads, fighting battles he can't win with bravado alone. As Tariq leans on Erika in his darkest moments, an unlikely bond forms between them-one built not on image or applause, but on honesty, resilience, and undeniable chemistry. For the first time, Tariq discovers what it means to be seen for who he is, not what he can do. But to hold onto Erika, he'll have to face the hardest opponent of all: himself.
