I didn’t have the best track record when it came to men. No matter how hard I try to make good choices, I end up picking losers just like my father. After my last failed relationship, I decided to take a break from dating and focus my energy on other things—family, friends, and my thriving business.

At least that was the plan.

Until a certain gorgeous hockey player walks into my small town bookstore one day and turns my carefully crafted world upside down.

Tanner Fine is back in Hope Valley after a season–ending injury, and his body isn’t the only thing he’s trying to heal.

He’s set his sights on me and is determined to show me that he’s different from the men in my past. Despite all my efforts to keep my walls up, I can’t stop myself from falling for him.
