Worth The Risk

A swoony, kick-your-feet-in-the-air, second chance romance

infused with humor and heartfelt connections.

Winslow "Winnie" Parker is a relationship girl through and through--she just likes for them to come with an expiration date.

Between managing her anxiety and opening her bakery, Winnies come to the conclusion shes not meant to have the kind of love she reads about in romance novels. Shes meant to appreciate it--not participate in it. A hopeless romantic, emphasis on hopeless. Shes been fine with playing it safe for years.

That is until Rhett Holloway comes back into her life. The 64" tattooed solid muscle greek god on skates with a smile as bright as sunshine is back in their hometown--and hes moving in next door. The feelings she had for him 8 years ago are still there. Feelings that threaten to turn her carefully crafted view on love upside down.

Barrett "Rhett" Holloway is best known for playing professional hockey--and leaving a trail of broken hearts behind him.

Playing professional hockey is all Rhetts known for the last decade. After an injury shortens his career sooner than expected hes trading his mouth guard in for a whistle as Silverthorne Highs new hockey coach. At 33 hes ready to settle down and start a family of his own. The only problem with is the only time hes ever been in love was 8 years ago and hes still in love with her.

Winnie Parker, wild curls and snarky comments, is the one that got away--even if hes the one that left. After a stroke of luck in the house market, theyll be living right next door to each other. He wont make it as easy this time for her to avoid him or the feelings she wont admit to. Hes looking for forever and he has his sights set on Winnie.

Rhett may have fallen first, but when Winnie falls, its headfirst off a cliff.

Rhetts strong and steady nature may be exactly what Winnie needs to soothe her anxious mind-she just has to decide if shes willing to risk her heart and take a chance on the only man shes ever come close to falling for.
