A serious relationship never enters his mind, until a chance encounter with his brother's girlfriend changes things.Elise Quinn is not a one-night stand sort of girl. Quiet and studious, she doesn't drink or party and is "practically engaged" to Johnny's brother. But when Johnny impulsively kisses her in a dorm room one rainy afternoon, their sexual attraction is immediate and powerful, igniting a passionate affair that won't be denied. Johnny calls it their destiny. Elise calls it love. Their happiness is complete when Johnny is picked by the Philadelphia Eagles in the third round of the NFL Draft. Their exciting future seems assured. But it ends later that night, when Johnny drives drunk after his draft party and kills a pedestrian in a rain-drenched intersection in downtown Eugene, turning their dream into an ongoing nightmare.Johnny is convicted of criminally negligent homicide and is soon enmeshed in a deadly struggle with a corrupt prison system that tries to destroy him. When the brutal stabbing of his cellmate sends Johnny to death row for aggravated murder, Elise joins a desperate legal battle to save his life. But does love have the power to overcome destiny?
