Description
Adam White is many things, but becoming a single dad was never part of his plan. He was twenty-three when the plan he had for his life crumbled at his feet. In the blink of an eye he went from a flirtatious playboy just getting his new business off the ground to a struggling father of a two-year-old boy he had never known existed.
Still, he did it. Adam accomplished what he thought was impossible. Now, at the prime age of thirty-three, he doesn’t think his life can get any better. His twelve-year-old son, Cooper, is his world, and his business, White Ice Training, is one of the best-known hockey training facilities in Vancouver. But when he posts a job listing for a new hockey trainer, he gets a response that lights a flame inside him he never realized had burned out — one he refuses to live without again.
One terrible game was all it took for Scarlett Carter to lose everything. After a career-ending injury destroys her chances of ever playing professional hockey again, she finds herself lost in a mess of guilt-stricken “what-ifs” and broken dreams. Moving back home to Vancouver was never in the playbook, but neither was letting herself get tricked into taking a job working for a man who seems to want to stop at nothing to see her play the sport she loves again.
Scarlett wants to forget about the world that broke her, but the single dad refuses to let her move on. The more time she spends with Adam, the harder she finds it to resist him and the sly grins he seems to reserve just for her. She can’t help but wonder why he cares so much about her, and more importantly, why she can’t bring herself to make him leave her alone.
