Since the moment our lives fell apart, the only thing that mattered was making a good life for my son. A life where he was happy and safe. I just never expected to find that safety with a hockey player known for his brutal dominance on the ice and his recklessness off it. But Cope Colson is so much more. The gentle way he makes sure we're okay. The playful care he shows my son. The way he truly sees me. When my life comes apart yet again, it's Cope picking up the pieces. Now, we're living in his house, eating his incredible, chef-worthy meals, and it's not just my son who's falling. It's me. Because when Cope touches me, I lose all sense. I'm no longer thinking about staying safe; I'm thinking about how my skin ignites with every glance, and how I come undone with the barest brush of his fingertips. And when we give in to temptation...I'm lost. But Cope has secrets, and so do I. And when the forces from our pasts emerge from the shadows, there's nothing they won't do to end our happiness once and for all...
