They let ambition pull them apart once. This time, fate—and one life-altering mistake—forces them back together.
I've loved Scarlett since we were seventeen—before the NHL, before the spotlight, before life demanded we choose between dreams and each other. No amount of success has ever replaced her.
But Scarlett was never meant for my world. She chased freedom, the ocean, waves I could never follow. Walking away was supposed to protect us both—even if it broke me. Now one mistake changes everything.
Suddenly, we're back in each other's orbit, old feelings colliding with the lives we fought so hard to build. I want her like I always have. She still wants the future she earned. And neither of us knows how to let go without losing everything. Because this time, running isn't an option.
If we choose each other again, it means risking our careers, our dreams, and the fragile balance we've rebuilt. But some loves never fade. They wait—patient and relentless—until the moment you can't walk away anymore.
A heart-pounding second-chance romance about ambition, fate, and the love that always pulls you home.
Contains mature themes.
