I had one rule: don't fall for a professional athlete. My life is here in my small town. His is on the national stage. So when the infuriatingly charming Beckett Miller saunters into my family's shop, flashing that million-dollar smile, I know he's trouble. He's the new hotshot goalie for the local pro hockey team and exactly the kind of distraction I don't need. But Beckett is relentless. He's everywhere—flirting with me at the coffee shop, showing up unannounced at my door, and proving he's nothing like the arrogant jock I pegged him for. Behind the fame and fortune is a man with a surprising heart, one that understands my fears and pushes me to chase my own dreams. I feel myself falling, hard and fast. But when a life-altering opportunity lands in his lap, the glittering world he belongs to threatens to tear us apart. He says he'll do anything to make it work, but how do you build a future with a man who belongs to the entire country? I took a chance on us, but was one chance enough?
