When the Carolina Cold Furyโs hottest young star gets blindsided by an ex with a scandalous secret, itโs game on. โOne of the best voices in contemporary romance.โโNew 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 coldโand itโs not because Gracen Moore is getting married to a total jerk. Itโs the fact that Marek has a three-year-old daughter he never knew about. Now heโs going back home, not to play knight in shining armor but to make damn sure that no man takes whatโs his. For the first time, there might be something more important than hockey.
Gracen Moore has always loved Marek. Thatโs why she let him go, so he could pursue a career in the NHL. And thatโs 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, Gracenโs not getting her hopes up. Because she knows better than anyone that appearances arenโt always what they seem. . . .
