With only a week until Christmas, she knows she can’t face another year of regret. There is no such thing as a knight in shining armor. Alexei Bocharov loves the game. Hockey is his passion, but has also afforded him a life that he could have only dreamed of as a kid in Russia. Until the accident. Now, his future is uncertain. His future hanging by a thread. When he hears the sound of crunching metal outside, the sight in front of him is not what he expects. A wrecked car with a woman slumped in the front seat. In a world where dreams are shattered, and hearts are guarded, can two broken souls find healing in each other?
