ABOUT THE BOOK
After suffering a horrific injury that threatens to end his career, Baden Oulett is about to learn that sometimes a fresh start is just what the doctor ordered.
I worked my whole life to achieve one goal—play professional hockey. As part of the defending Cup champion Arizona Vengeance, I was living my dream until one split second decision destroyed it all. Instead of lacing up my skates and hitting the ice, I’ve spent my days in rehab and physical therapy just so I could walk again.
When a coaching opportunity with the Pittsburgh Titans is presented to me, I find myself with a career I had never considered but which allows me to continue being part of the sport that I love.
While my injuries are physical, the same can’t be said for the woman I rescued. Suffering from wounds that can’t be seen, Sophie Winters has withdrawn from the world in fear and guilt. I didn’t know Sophie before that fateful night and have only met her once since, but I refuse to let her face her demons alone. Determined to be a friend, I support Sophie in the only way I know how… by simply being there.
Through our shared trauma, Sophie and I begin to find peace within one another. As we grow closer, what started as friendship becomes more intimate until our broken pieces become one. But can a love born of anguish endure, or will the pain of our past prove too much to overcome?

This is the first book in a brand-new series and it totally tugged at my heart in this story. We get Baden's story here as he becomes a new goalie coach for a new team that has risen from the ashes of a terrible tragedy in Pittsburgh.
If you read the Arizona Vengeance series, you know Baden was terribly injured when he saved a tourist from some terrible men. They ended up damaging his spinal Colum terribly. Baden has done awesome, and he can walk in this story, but he has to decide if he wants the new goalie coach job and will give up trying to get back on the ice. It's not an easy decision and its part of the storyline of this book.
In Pittsburg he decides to visit the woman that he saved, Sophie and what he finds is pretty bad. While he saved her life and she was not injured on the outside, on the inside she is struggling, and it totally broke my heart.
I loved how open Sophie is with Braden and how Braden and her share their pain with each other and are there for each other. This book is a very slow burn and is very unusual in that the two main characters don't even kiss until 80% of the story. It really worked for this story.
This is a wonderful beginning to this new series, and I cannot wait for the next story. It's a really different series and some parts of the book were just so sad. But I also love this series and cannot wait to see where the author takes it.
