Adam
I am many things, but a single dad wasn’t one I ever planned on becoming. At twenty-three, I went from a flirtatious playboy just getting my new business up and running to a struggling father of a two-year-old boy I didn’t know existed.
Despite having the odds stacked against me, I made it work. And now, ten years later, I know this was the right path for me to take. My business is a success, and my son is happy and healthy. I have everything I’ve ever wanted.
Almost.
Everything changes the moment Scarlett Carter walks into my hockey arena with her flaming red hair and surly attitude. Until suddenly, I can’t hide from the realization that we’ve been missing something—someone— after all.
Scarlett
One terrible game was all it took for me to lose everything.
After a career-ending injury destroys my chances of ever playing professional hockey again, I find myself lost in a pit of cruel “what-ifs” and broken dreams. Moving back home to Vancouver was never in the playbook, but neither was letting myself get tricked into taking a job working for a man who seems determined to do whatever it takes to see me play the sport I love again.
I want to forget about the world that broke me, but Adam refuses to let me move on. The more time I spend with him, the harder it’s becoming to resist him and the beaming smiles he seems to only give me.
Why does he care so much about me and my broken spirit? And more importantly, why can't I bring myself to make him leave me alone?
