One night. One mistake. One secret that could destroy everything. I broke my own rule when I invited Liam Hayes into my bed. NHL superstar. Town heartbreaker. My brother's best friend. Now I'm five months pregnant with his baby, and he has no idea. I had it all planned out—keep my secret, raise this baby on my terms, and never let another hockey player wreck my life the way my father did to my mother. Then Liam comes crashing back to Cypress Falls, all sweaty muscle and devastating smiles, still making my body ache in ways that should be illegal. When he discovers the truth about our baby from someone else, the look in his eyes nearly brings me to my knees. "I want everything, Nora. You. The baby. Us." His words are as dangerous as his touch—and I'm melting all over again. But his career-making trade to Seattle is just weeks away, and my Chicago business opportunity won't wait forever. He swears he's done running. I'm terrified to believe him. With my protective brother threatening to tear apart the team, reporters sniffing around our secret, and the clock ticking on both our dreams, we're skating on thin ice. They say the most unexpected passes lead to the hottest scores. But in this game, it's not just our hearts on the line—it's our entire futures. A scorching hot, emotional hockey romance featuring secret pregnancy, forbidden attraction, and a second chance that burns hotter than their first. This standalone in the Breakaway Serenade series delivers deliciously steamy scenes, heart-wrenching choices, and a guaranteed happily ever after that will leave you fanning yourself long after the final page.
