It was easier to keep him at a distance—or so she thought. Jessica O’Reilly has a lot of regrets in life. Even though it meant she had to give up her dream of art school, though, she refuses to regret the one night of passion she spent with her best friend’s older brother, Blake, four years ago. Why? Because otherwise she wouldn’t have her amazing, if precocious, daughter. A famous hockey player, Blake’s been out of the picture. Well, he was never really in the picture in the first place. She never found the words to tell him, and he never asked. What will she do when he comes back to town for his sister’s wedding, and her secret is in danger of being exposed? Blake Mathews has it all—a dream career, an endless supply of women, and the adoration of the nation. So why does a part of him feel hollow inside? When he heads back to his old hometown for his sister’s wedding, it starts to become clear. The girl who broke his heart, the girl he left behind, calls to him like a beacon. Too bad she seems determined not to let him get close. **This is a stand-alone story with an HEA, so no cliff-hangers! Story contains mature themes and language, and is intended for 18+ readers only.
