COVER COMING SOON

Chase Harper

When I think about returning to hockey, the death of my best friend and brother overshadows the rink. It’s impossible to move forward when all I have are questions. Desperate for answers, I bring someone in to find out what really happened, all while trying to keep my pain and secrets hidden from everyone around me.

Until her.

Erin Callahan is beautifully broken in ways I can’t place—and completely irresistible. She makes me believe I don’t have to pay for the sins of my past.

But the thing is… I’m not so sure she’s right.

Erin Callahan

My survival strategy has always been to keep people out. But then I meet Chase Harper, who has every intention of getting to know me. He smiles at me like I’m his anchor, breaks through every wall I’ve built, and pulls me dangerously close to lines I swore I’d never cross.

When old demons resurface, I have no choice but to face them head-on. It’s not so simple when my mother’s lingering voice refuses to let me forget that letting someone in is a dangerous mistake. As time passes and truths come to light, it’s clear what Chase and I share runs deeper than just a connection.

But the thing is… it may be more than either of us can handle.
