Your entire life can change with a single message.

When former hockey legend turned CEO/investor Maxwell Valente downloaded a new top-secret dating app, he was mostly looking for a way to kill some time before his new position started. But when he finds himself drawn into flirty conversation at all hours with a mysterious and vivacious hockey fan that just so happens to live in his new city, he can’t help but let down his guard to share his deepest, darkest desires…

Ember Caldwell lives, works, and breathes hockey. As granddaughter of the owner of the Astoria Bay Thunder, she’s always known that the team would one day be hers. But as hard as she works, she plays even harder. When her grandfather tells her the promotion she’s been waiting her whole life for has been awarded to a secret stranger, her entire world spins on its axis. A clandestine and sexy conversation with an anonymous hottie on the internet seems like just the thing to help her get over her disappointment. She had no idea how quickly she’d get attached…

When Maxwell and Ember’s worlds collide, sparks hot enough to melt center ice will fly. When identities are revealed, will the connection they forged anonymously be enough to sustain them? Or will it be the wedge that drives them apart?

What if the one who got away… comes back? They say you never forget your first love. But does time truly heal all wounds?

Levi Fawkes knows hockey, and not much else. As the captain of the Astoria Bay Thunder, his eyes are always locked on the goal. He’s perpetually unlucky in love and he’s been burned more times than he cares to count, but he’s determined to find his successes on the ice… not off it.

Recently divorced and looking for a new kind of freedom, Brynn Mackintosh is ready for a fresh start in a new city. For too many years, her dreams have been sidelined to suit someone else’s goals. But not anymore! Making a life for herself as a photographer is a chance to carve out her own path, and she won’t let anything stand in her way.

On a whim, Brynn calls into a local radio show and wins a ticket to a home game for the Astoria Bay Thunder. She’s not a big hockey fan, but a new life means taking chances. What she doesn’t know is that she’s about to hit her past…. square in the balls.

With chemistry that melts the ice and a second-chance to do things right, will Levi and Brynn find the happiness they crave in each other or will the wounds of the past be too much to overcome?
