He broke her heart to protect her. Now he's back on the ice-and asking for a second chance he isn't sure he deserves.
Eight years ago, Theo Ace Harrington ended things with his high-school sweetheart over a five-minute phone call and never explained why. He left Millhaven. He left hockey take him all the way to the NHL. And he left Nora Ellis to spend a year wondering what she'd done wrong.
She hadn't done anything. He'd just been too scared to let her in.
Now a career-threatening injury has sent Theo home to the small hockey-obsessed town he swore he'd never live in again-straight into the physical therapy clinic Nora spent eight years building without him. She's not the girl he left. She's a woman with walls he helped build, brick by brick, and she is not interested in letting the guy who vanished skate back into her life just because his shoulder needs fixing.
But forced proximity has a way of cracking even the sturdiest walls. Between rehab sessions, a town-wide charity fundraiser neither of them can escape, and a little too much found-family warmth from his mother, his teammates, and her best friend, Theo and Nora keep ending up exactly where they started-center ice, sixteen years old, certain of nothing except each other.
This time, Theo knows the truth has to come out. All of it. And Nora has to decide whether the man standing in front of her has actually changed-or whether loving him again means risking the same ending twice.
ONCE MORE ON THE ICE is a sweet, closed-door second-chance sports romance featuring:
- A wounded, protective hero who finally learns to stop shutting people out
- A strong, independent heroine who built a life and refuses to let it be disrupted-until she's ready
- Slow-burn forced proximity between patient and physical therapist
- A found-family hockey team and a small town that never stopped rooting for them
- Real emotional accountability, a hard-earned grovel, and a guaranteed happily ever after
- Closed-door romance: swoony tension, forehead touches, and one unforgettable kiss at center ice-fade to black, always sweet
If you love small-town sports romance, second-chance love stories, and heroes who finally learn to communicate, you'll fall for Theo and Nora's story-and the town of Millhaven-from the very first chapter.
