When the Carolina Cold Furyβs hottest young star gets blindsided by an ex with a scandalous secret, itβs game on. βOne of the best voices in contemporary romance.ββNew York Times bestselling author Lauren Layne
Marek Fabritis is used to delivering blows, not receiving them. But when he gets tipped off by an anonymous email about his ex-girlfriend, the news leaves him ice coldβand itβs not because Gracen Moore is getting married to a total jerk. Itβs the fact that Marek has a three-year-old daughter he never knew about. Now heβs going back home, not to play knight in shining armor but to make damn sure that no man takes whatβs his. For the first time, there might be something more important than hockey.
Gracen Moore has always loved Marek. Thatβs why she let him go, so he could pursue a career in the NHL. And thatβs why she never told him about Lilly. Only now does Gracen realize that she made an unforgivable mistake. But is that any reason for Marek to crash her wedding and make an epic scene? If the spark that still smolders between them is to be trusted, maybe. Still, Gracenβs not getting her hopes up. Because she knows better than anyone that appearances arenβt always what they seem. . . .
