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, Winnie’s come to the conclusion she’s not meant to have the kind of love she reads about in romance novels. She’s meant to appreciate it--not participate in it. A hopeless romantic, emphasis on hopeless. She’s been fine with playing it safe for years.

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

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

Rhett may have fallen first, but when Winnie falls, it’s headfirst off a cliff.

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