About this book

When quiet, reserved Landon gets called up to the Calgary Flames as a backup goalie, he never expects charming superstar Casey Hicks to break through his carefully constructed walls—or to offer him a room in the sprawling new house Casey's tired of rattling around in alone. What starts as a practical arrangement becomes something far more meaningful as Casey's relentless warmth and infectious optimism gradually chip away at Landon's guarded exterior, and Landon finds himself noticing things about Casey that go way beyond friendship. Spending the holidays together under one roof only deepens the connection between them, but as the new year dawns, Landon's time in Calgary has an expiration date, forcing them both to confront what they've found in each other and whether it's worth fighting for. This is the kind of cozy, heartfelt hockey romance that celebrates finding your people, finding home—and discovering that sometimes the person you're meant to be with is the one who refuses to let you hide.
