August Snow has everything except the one thing that matters most. At the peak of his career and ranked among the NHL’s elite players, August should feel like he’s on top of the world. Instead, he’s painfully alone and doesn’t feel connected to anyone—including his teammates. Then he locks eyes with a green-eyed stranger whose gaze stirs something buried deep in his past. A memory he can’t quite reach, but that calls to the hollowness inside.
Quinn Harlow is barely holding it together. Between raising his nieces alongside his brother-in-law and mourning the loss of his sister while inching toward an art degree, Quinn’s life is pure survival mode. He definitely didn’t realize his brother-in-law captained the same team as his high school boyfriend—the one who shattered his heart and vanished ten years ago—but, at least August doesn’t seem to recognize him.
Until one accusation, three glasses of champagne, and an impulsive kiss in a public bathroom changes everything.
Now August is the one watching Quinn, and Quinn is left with a choice:
Walk away and protect his heart, or let August back in just long enough to break him the way he had been broken.
But the past isn’t what it seems, and the man August has become is not who Quinn remembers.
Neither of them was prepared for how much a single kiss could unravel the horrifying truth of August’s past.
A truth that August had been hiding from everyone—including himself.
