Description
Hearts intertwine, but some remain elusive than others. *** In the hushed corners of the campus library and the roaring arenas of ice hockey, Mila Young discovers more than dusty books as she stumbles upon Heath McConnell - a man whose mystifying gaze conceals secrets, both on and off the ice. As autumn leaves fall, their paths intertwine, where her sunshine meets his storm, she finds herself inexplicably drawn to the brooding athlete, unraveling the enigma that is Heath, hiding a past that echoes through every slapshot and penalty box, and in doing so, she unearths her own desires. His haunted eyes hint at a darkness he won't reveal, while her innocence belies a strength she never knew she possessed, and together, they dance a delicate dance, a waltz of vulnerability and longing, treading the fine line between healing and heartbreak, where every touch threatens to unravel the carefully guarded secrets. But love, like fragile pages, teeters on the edge, threatening to tear easily. In this tale of passion, puck drops, stolen glances, and whispered confessions, they must decide: Is love worth the risk of the fragile fabric of their hearts, or will they forever remain unfinished chapters in each other's novels? Will their connection withstand the pressure, or will it shatter like ice under the heat of their desires? *** Book 1 of the Heart Series.
