Bold hockey romance that hits like a slap shot - Rachel Reid, New York Times bestselling author of Heated Rivalry

Will two struggling hockey players grab their second chance at love, or will it slide right through their grasp?

Newly retired hockey star Aiden Campbell should be a man with no regrets. Instead, he is consumed by them. When he runs into his ex in New York City ten years after they broke up, he'll have to confront his biggest regret of them all.

Montreal hockey captain Matt Safaryan never expected to see his old flame again. Now that he has, he can't forget what they had, no matter how badly Aiden hurt him. Which is why Matt finds himself on Aiden's doorstep late at night with only a deep want driving him.

One passionate night has them hooked all over again, but great sex was never the problem. Life after hockey has left Aiden adrift. Watching Matt push himself through chronic injuries isn't helping, but this time around they're determined to make this thing between them last. If only they can rebuild the trust they destroyed a decade ago.

Giving their relationship a second chance might cut sharper than a blade, but it may also end up being their best play ever.
