i>Red and Me is an extraordinary book: an homage to a peerless coach, showing how he produced results unlike any other; an inspiring story of mutual success, in which each man gave his all, and gained back even more; above all, it may be the best depiction of male friendship ever put on the page.

My father has 30 days to pay up or I’m dead...unless I can convince Diego to spare me.

He stumbled into my life, a high school sweetheart sent to distract me. I had a business to run. He had a heart to mend. And competition. Competition with my best friend.

When a hooded figure starts stalking my every move, my decision becomes even more important. Love, career, or my safety...why can’t I have all three?
