When Logan arrives in town carrying hidden grief and a determination to finally be selfish for once, the last thing she expects is to fall hard for Eli—her best friend's hockey-star brother who makes her want to stay. But Logan's running from her past, and she breaks both their hearts when she drives away, leaving Eli to chase his NHL dreams alone. Now, with his senior season on the line and Logan back in his orbit, Eli has to decide what he's willing to sacrifice for the girl who's become his everything. This is a beautifully emotional second-chance romance about learning that sometimes the most selfless act is fighting for the person you love.
