First published 2018
Lilah watched Ethan walk away once, choosing his hockey career over her. That was eight years ago. Now he's back, standing at her door, acting like no time has passed at all. He wants to slot back into her life the way he slots pucks past goalies: with total confidence and zero doubt. Lilah isn't buying it. She has rebuilt herself from the ground up, and the girl who once bent her whole world around Ethan is gone. Ethan, meanwhile, is struggling on the ice. His career has stalled, and something is missing. He believes that something is Lilah. With her beside him, he played like a man who couldn't lose. He needs to convince her the connection they had was real and that it still is. Lilah starts to soften. Then she hears a rumor that cuts deep: maybe Ethan came back for his game, not for her. Ethan knows he messed up badly the first time. He also knows that no contract, no trophy, and no comeback season is worth losing her a second time.
