The Lantern Hangs on Gunnar's Pond

Novella. Rhett Lindqvist gave up the NHL, his left knee and his marriage, in roughly that order. At forty-one, the divorced dad coaches a peewee team in Esker Lake, Minnesota. He shares a fridge calendar with his ex-wife and her new husband, and he growls at anyone who asks him to smile. Then Wren Halloway marches into the Ice Barn. She's the rink's new physical therapist, a sunny thirty-eight-year-old single mom fresh out of a Chicago divorce, with a ten-year-old goalie in borrowed pads and zero patience for his scowl. This is grumpy sunshine with grown-up stakes. Rhett and Dana spent three years building co-parenting that actually works, and he won't risk his kids' peace for a woman who might not stay. Wren isn't looking for a second chance at love. She just needs proof that Poppy belongs here before her ex changes his mind. But the snow is falling, Gunnar's lantern is about to hang over the pond, and the whole town says that's when the ice is safe. Rhett is about to learn how wrong a town can be. This steamy single dad romance is a small town romance and a hockey romance about adults who have already been broken once and are brave enough to try again. It ends on a heart-stopping cliffhanger.
