Book One of the D.C. Renegades Hockey Club RomCom series! Can two people with guarded hearts find their way to each other—and something real? NHL backup goalie Aiden Youngren is used to being the reliable second-stringer, bouncing from team to team. Joining the D.C. Renegades is just another stop on the line. He’s not getting attached—why bother when he’ll be gone in a few months? Luxury real estate agent Harper Daniels is equally focused on her career. After a string of short-lived relationships, she continues dating but goes in with the end already in mind, and never allows a man to interfere with her work. So when team captain Felix Fornier refers her to Aiden, she’s determined to close the deal—even if her new client isn’t ready to commit. A chance encounter changes everything. After Aiden witnesses Harper’s messy breakup, their worlds collide in unexpected ways. What starts as a tentative friendship blossoms into something deeper, but their personal histories, fears, and uncertain futures threaten to pull them apart. Within these pages we'll learn if Aiden can find the courage to open his heart and if Harper will realize she’s enough just as she is.
