Wall Street Journal bestselling author Penelope Bloom returns with a laugh-out-loud hockey romance about a double-booking that leads to a second chance nobody asked for. After two years of culinary grind, I was about to land my dream job. Nothing, absolutely nothing, could dampen my spirits. Or so I thought... until fate decided to hit me with a dirty little plot twist. My cozy, one-bedroom cabin rental is double-booked. With whom, you ask? None other than my ex, the NHL star with a knack for making headlines from his off-field conquests since we called it quits. No big deal, though. Right? We’re adults. We moved on. I’ll just ace my interview and he’ll stick to his annoyingly sexy little corner. Simple. But then he shows up looking like sin dipped in honey. Sandy blonde hair, a scar cut across his full lips, and that all-too-familiar aura of attraction. And the spark? It’s more like kindling doused in lighter fluid. One wrong look and I know we’d be setting that bed ablaze. But he saves us both when he opens his mouth. He’s not the man I dated anymore. Now he’s a challenge-seeking Casanova. All I am to him is a trophy he missed his shot at. So I exile him to the couch and firmly decide I’m still focused on my future, not our past. Except the universe has one last curveball to throw. The restaurant I’ve been dreaming of working in? Nobody told me it’s his latest business venture. He’s not just my ex. He’s about to become my boss, too. Full-length second-chance romance filled with laugh-out-loud moments and electric chemistry. The last thing she expected was for her ex, now a hotshot NHL star turned restaurateur, to be her boss. Old flames reignite, and they'll have to navigate the thin ice between love and ambition.

**My first ever traditionally published book, Anyone But Rich, is going live September 3rd. Don't miss it!!!** I'm a USA Today Bestselling Author and have written nearly a dozen top 50 amazon bestsellers, including four books that have hit the top 10! Despite all that, I'm still a nervous wreck before I release every new book and I still feel like I have so much more to learn about writing and publishing than I can even wrap my head around. I'm just beyond honored and humbled that so many readers have embraced me and found enjoyment in my words, because I can't think of any better opportunity than this. When I'm not writing and stressing about what I'm going to write, I'm trying to wrangle my two little girls who are 2 and a half and 1 and a half. When I'm not wrangling them, I'm trying to keep my husband in line. Writing and helping run the family aren't easy, but I'd never trade it for anything!
