She saved his life. He just never expected wanting to know her would change everything.
Sunny Wallace has spent years holding everything together. Between working at a Boston day spa, helping her family navigate mounting medical bills, and quietly putting everyone else's needs ahead of her own, she's learned not to ask for much.
Then one night, a split second decision puts her between an oncoming car and Boston hockey captain Dean DiLaurentis.
Dean owes her his life. Sunny insists she did nothing extraordinary.
But when he discovers just how much she's been carrying and how little she allows anyone to carry for her he refuses to stand by and watch her do it alone.
What starts as a job offer becomes late nights, stolen moments, a stubborn corgi, and a connection neither of them expected. Dean has spent his life knowing how to fight for what he wants. Sunny has spent hers knowing how to survive without asking for anything.
But as her family faces a fight none of them can control, the walls Sunny has built around her heart begin to crack. And Dean has to learn that loving someone doesn't mean rescuing them. It means staying when things get hard, even when there's nothing you can fix.
Because the hardest battles aren't always fought on the ice.
Sometimes, they're fought in hospital rooms, quiet kitchens, and the spaces between two people learning how to lean on each other.
*An emotional, slow-burn romance about grief, family, fierce loyalty, and finding the person who becomes your steady place when everything else starts to fall apart.*
