Seven years ago, Adrian Cole broke my heart and my trust in one brutal blow.
Now he’s back—broody, gorgeous, and wearing the pads of the New York Vipers’ star goalie—while I’m the one running Chicago’s biggest hockey event of the year.
We’re supposed to stay professional. Except a blizzard shuts down the city, and suddenly it’s just me and him locked inside the arena overnight.
The same man who once made me believe in forever. The same one who still looks at me like he remembers every second of it.
Somewhere between the arguing, the long silences, and the moments that feel way too familiar, I start to fall again.
But when a scandal threatens everything I’ve worked for, I have to decide— protect my career or risk my heart on the man who already broke it once.
