If “best friends at first sight” were really a thing, Eli Dash would say that’s how his friendship with the new private school teacher, Court Edwards, began. She’s the only person who understands his determination to prove himself as the new L.A. Rays quarterback. She, and nobody else, completely relates to his drive to make everyone forget about last year’s disastrous season with his old team.

To her quaint New England community, she's the sweet owner of Annie's Pies, but the world knows Annie Smith as someone else entirely.

A decade in the ring as an MMA fighter taught him a thing or two about adversity—and how to take down a threat quickly and quietly. He's the perfect addition to the executive protection team.

And that's exactly what he's doing every time our paths cross.
