Book Blurb

Mark Diego, the youngest NHL coach, returns to his hometown of Santa Rey to manage a PR crisis through community outreach. There he reconnects with Rainey Saunders—the strong, beautiful woman he once hurt. As they work side by side at the rec center, old feelings flare, and second chances begin to look like real possibilities.

My Review

This is a cozy and spicy second-chance romance with a good balance of steam and heart. Mark is used to controlling every move on the ice, but Rainey reminds him that love doesn’t follow a playbook. Their banter is fun, the emotional moments feel real, and the community center backdrop adds depth to their journey.

Jill Shalvis brings her trademark charm to this fast-paced romance. The chemistry crackles, the dialogue flows, and the heartwarming resolution leaves you with a smile.
