For an East Texas football Lion King and lonely Princess Bride, what will the end zone and The Pride Promise of one true love be: a championship ring or wedding ring? Honor's glory or Grace's gain? In a contemporary odyssey spanning twenty years, Honor Careson, proud NFL quarterback, home-crowned Lion King, and exiled preacher's son running from God, commitment, and home, trades family and faith in Heaventon Hope-The Pride Land of East Texas- for glory and gain, freedom and fame in Florida. As Honor launches on a quest for a Super Bowl win and championship ring before he's forty, he gets blindsided by fatherhood, then blitzed by the adversities of life only to get setup for his greatest rival and would-be princess bride, Grace Matthews, an aspiring ER pediatric physician, who dreams of love and romance-a wedding ring, family, home, and security-all before she turns forty. But true love never fails, and on the Fourth of July-Independence Day-Grace and Honor share their first kiss, which propels them on a winding road of romance, playing out a love story tinged with fear, uncertainty, and tragedy. As an adversary comes to steal, kill, and destroy, their faith and love are tested to the limit. Will Honor drop the ball, losing everything that really matters? Or will he find his one true love, the real Pride Promise in a believer's life, and gain more than he ever dreamed possible.
