He was the NHL’s most feared enforcer—until addiction ended his career. Now he’s back in the hometown he swore he''d never return to… and face-to-face with the woman who has every reason not to trust him.
After a high-profile overdose nearly derails his life, Logan Carter lands in Sea Haven, Maine—a place filled with memories he'd rather forget. His goal is simple: keep his head down, finish rehab, and leave quietly. No drama. No connections.
Then he walks into the local café—and straight into Harper Evans.
Harper’s a single mom with a full plate and a guarded heart. She’s built a quiet, steady life for her son, and she has no time for fallen hockey stars or the headlines that follow them. But when her seven-year-old son, Noah, recognizes Logan and begs him for skating lessons, Harper finds herself drawn into Logan’s orbit—one early morning practice at a time.
As Logan teaches Noah how to skate, something unexpected happens. The boy starts to smile brighter. Logan starts to show up. And Harper starts to wonder if this grumpy, guarded man might be more than the sum of his mistakes.
Just as she begins to trust him, someone from Harper’s past returns—with a request that threatens everything she’s built.
At the same time, Logan receives a call that could change his life: a shot at redemption from the hockey world that once cheered for his downfall.
Now Harper must protect her son’s heart—and her own. And Logan must decide if he’s ready to stop running… and finally stay.
A heartwarming, small-town hockey romance filled with second chances, found family, and the kind of slow-burn chemistry that lingers long after the final page. Perfect for fans of sweet romance stories where broken hearts learn to believe again.
