Two years ago, a hockey player’s dangerous secret cost him the only woman he’s ever loved. Now that he’s got a second chance, coming clean might mean losing her for good.
Ella Wilkinson is hoping for a fresh start when she packs up her life and moves to sunny Las Vegas. Two years ago, she lost everything when her fiancé called off their engagement without reason or warning. Despite her still-broken heart, it’s time for her to move forward—and she’s counting on the new career waiting for her in Nevada to help put it back together again.
She wasn’t counting on running into her ex, who’s made it clear that the only thing he wants for Christmas this year is her.
Tyler Quinn’s worked hard the past two years to get his career and life back on track after nearly destroying both. Back then, he thought breaking up with Ella was the only way to protect her from getting caught in the crossfire of his downward spiral.
When a chance meeting and mutual work project throws them together again, he realizes letting her go was the biggest mistake of his life. To win Ella back, he’s got to break down the walls she’s built around her heart.
For them to have a future together, Ty has to get honest about his past, but telling Ella might break her trust in him forever.
Will Ty win back Ella’s heart in time for Christmas? Or are some second chances never meant to be?
