From the author of the best-selling Twisted series comes a compelling story of heartbreak, sacrifice, and the test of true love....

Eleven years together and today, I find out...I don't know the first thing about the man I sleep beside every night. My marriage is built on a bed of lies. Nothing is real. Each day, I'm barely surviving, falling deeper into despair and loneliness. Meeting Hayes Taylor is not in my plan....

Hooking up with an annoyingly handsome stranger on vacation isn't the best idea, but I could use a little bit of careless fun before my fresh start....

Ever since my accident, I've felt like damaged goods. I do my best to hide in plain sight until the one guy I want to notice me… doesn't. Westfall U hockey star Evan Hayworth is way out of my league. If I want him to see me as more than just his tutor, I'll need help igniting the spark.

I've had my heart crushed more times than I can count. Swearing off men was the best thing I ever did. The second best—taking a job waitressing at The Firken bar off campus. My grumpy boss is nice to everyone… except me. Which shouldn't bother me, but it does.

Being injured on the ice doesn't just make me a grumpy goalie, it makes me a frustrated single dad unable to care for my daughter… or myself. Ellie is the perfect candidate—kind, patient, beautiful, and looking for a place to call home after a falling out with her family. It's a win-win.

She is off-limits, not only because she is my hockey team's new assistant physical therapist. She is also the coach's daughter. Getting in between the sheets with her could cost me my career on the ice.

I've had a crush on my best friend for as long as I can remember. He's a hockey winger who has quite a reputation with the puck bunnies, and I'm a nerdy girl trying to survive my biochemistry degree as a single mom.

The only thing I ever loved more than hockey? Skylar Ward. The one who got away, or rather the one I pushed away and into the arms of my hockey nemesis when I left for a D1 college hockey team. He broke her heart, too. The only difference—he didn't love her. I did. I still do.

Hotshot playboy and devilishly handsome hockey winger Declan McAvoy is a big man on campus and I’m just the nerdy little sister of his teammate...or at least I was, until I let it slip I had never been kissed....

Hockey winger and campus hottie, Cole Davis, might be an MVP with the ladies, but I’m not falling for a player... not with medical school on the line. With our best friends dating, our forced proximity is inevitable. That doesn’t mean I have to like it - or the way he makes me feel....

Notorious heartbreaker and handsome-as-sin hockey captain, Wolfe Judd is the golden boy on campus. He could have any girl he wants...and he wants me....
