Description

A swoony, kick-your-feet-in-the-air, second chance romance infused with humor and heartfelt connections.

Winslow Winnie Parker is a relationship girl through and through–she just likes for them to come with an expiration date.
Between managing her anxiety and opening her bakery, Winnie s come to the conclusion she s not meant to have the kind of love she reads about in romance novels. She s meant to appreciate it–not participate in it. A hopeless romantic, emphasis on hopeless. She s been fine with playing it safe for years. That is until Rhett Holloway comes back into her life. The 6 4 tattooed solid muscle greek god on skates with a smile as bright as sunshine is back in their hometown–and he s moving in next door. The feelings she had for him 8 years ago are still there. Feelings that threaten to turn her carefully crafted view on love upside down.

Barrett Rhett Holloway is best known for playing professional hockey–and leaving a trail of broken hearts behind him.
Playing professional hockey is all Rhett s known for the last decade. After an injury shortens his career sooner than expected he s trading his mouth guard in for a whistle as Silverthorne High s new hockey coach. At 33 he s ready to settle down and start a family of his own. The only problem with is the only time he s ever been in love was 8 years ago and he s still in love with her.Winnie Parker, wild curls and snarky comments, is the one that got away–even if he s the one that left. After a stroke of luck in the house market, they ll be living right next door to each other. He won t make it as easy this time for her to avoid him or the feelings she won t admit to. He s looking for forever and he has his sights set on Winnie.
Rhett may have fallen first, but when Winnie falls, it s headfirst off a cliff.

Rhett s strong and steady nature may be exactly what Winnie needs to soothe her anxious mind-she just has to decide if she s willing to risk her heart and take a chance on the only man she s ever come close to falling for.
