Single Mom, Courtney Mason is drowning.

For the past four plus years, her rural existence with her children has been laden by domestic overload, caregiving fatigue and emotional burnout... but she’s had to keep going regardless.

Newly retired hockey player Mitch Hannigan is done with the city and can’t wait to live in his mountain home. But soon after he moves in, an incident occurs which puts aside the quiet life he envisioned. With no other choice available, Mitch moves Courtney and her kids into his home.

Human behavior had been part of his team’s preparation for games for the past fifteen years. That made him something of an expert, even if he didn’t know that. He has emotional wealth and insight most men of his age might never attain.
After observing Courtney and her kids, Mitch recognizes that although her kids are well-cared for, their mom is drained and functioning in survival mode. When forced to live together, Courtney continually waits for Mitch to fail.

But when this protective hero continues to show up, it is her that falls first. As their intimacy grows through the ordinary days, and she watches Mitch use his gentle masculine energy to bond with her children, Courtney begins to trust and to heal from her tragic past.

Demonstrating tenderness over passion, Mitch repurposes his life, and builds trust, sharing the load that held Courtney down. In doing this he set her free to heal and learn to love again.

This is an opposites attract, forced proximity, slow burn, second chance romance that will capture your heart and make you believe that anything is possible.
