From the Inside Flap:
Dell Fletcher is the Roadrunner, a black major-league baseball star who seems to have it all. He's married to his college sweetheart, Leah, and they have two children and a dream home in Los Angeles. But an injury has sidelined his hot career, and prescription medication and depression are pulling him into a downward spiral, leaving Leah feeling emotionally distanced and lonely. Their fighting escalates, and one night Dell commits an act of violence that changes the course of their lives forever.
But Angel Lopez, the cop who arrests Dell, decides to take the law into his own hands. Determined to teach the famous athlete a lesson, he drives Dell to the worst part of town and tries to kick him out of the car. The men struggle and the car crashes. When Angel comes to, Dell is gone and no one knows if he's dead or alive.
Leah is grateful when a guilt-stricken Angel offers to chase the media away from her home and help out around the house, "just until Dell comes home." She and her family grow to trust him, and Angel falls in love with the Roadrunner's lovely, grieving wife. Will Dell find his way home? Will Angel replace him? And what really happened that dark night the Roadrunner disappeared?
