I came to Maple Glen to disappear, to rebuild my life away from family expectations and the wreckage of my marriage.The last thing I needed was complications, especially the six-foot-two, blue-eyed kind that comes with a famous name and a world I don't understand.
Carter Blaine was supposed to be just another player passing through our small-town rink. But when I literally stumbled into his arms on my first day as equipment manager, everything changed. He sees past my carefully constructed walls to the woman I'm still learning to be. And somehow, in stolen moments on empty ice and whispered conversations under arena lights, I'm falling for a man whose life exists in a spotlight I'm not sure I can handle.
Now Carter has a choice: a twenty-million-dollar endorsement deal that could cement his legacy, or a quiet life in a town that barely shows up on maps with me. I never wanted to be the reason someone gave up their dreams. But what if love isn't about sacrifice? What if it's about finding someone worth choosing, over and over again?
Sometimes the biggest risks lead to the greatest rewards. Sometimes home isn't a place. It's a person who makes you brave enough to believe in happily ever after.
A heartwarming romance about second chances, small-town charm, and discovering that the best things in life are worth fighting for. Perfect for fans of contemporary romance who love hockey heroes with heart.
