Romance Closed Door

Pip is not a detective anymore. With the help of Ravi Singh, she released a true-crime podcast about the murder case they solved together last year. The podcast has gone viral, yet Pip insists her investigating days are behind her. But she will have to break that promise when someone she knows goes missing. Jamie Reynolds has disappeared, on the very same night the town hosted a memorial for the sixth-year anniversary of the deaths of Andie Bell and Sal Singh. The police won't do anything about it. And if they won't look for Jamie then Pip will, uncovering more of her town's dark secrets along the way... and this time everyone is listening. But will she find him before it's too late?

What happens when the one thing you’re fighting for is the one thing standing in your way? Zeke Lawson knows his days in professional hockey are numbered, but he’s not ready to let go—no matter what his body or the team’s attractive physical therapist says. Hockey is his anchor, his home, the one constant in a life where everyone else has walked away. He refuses to lose the only thing that’s always been there for him. Piper Fallon loves her job working for her favorite hockey team, but after a messy breakup with a player, she swore off dating athletes for good. The last thing she needs is another cocky, set-in-his-ways hockey star testing her patience—especially one who makes her heart race for all the wrong reasons. Forced to spend time together during therapy sessions, Zeke and Piper go from butting heads to breaking down walls. He’s terrified of life without hockey—and of letting someone in only to lose them again. She’s terrified of falling for another hockey player. But as their connection deepens, so do the risks. Piper’s job is on the line. Zeke’s future is uncertain. And the hardest play of all might be figuring out if love is worth the gamble. Will they risk it all for a chance at love—or let fear keep them on the sidelines?
