Book 1 of the Quinn Hughes Series ______________________________ ELEANOR GRACE KLEIN has always been a dreamer. Growing up in the heart of Toronto, she was the girl who saw the world in stories, the one who could turn an ordinary moment into something magical. Affectionate, thoughtful, and effortlessly carefree, Eleanor moved through life with a quiet confidence, her intelligence shining in everything she did. When the Hughes brothers moved to Toronto the year she turned thirteen, her world changed forever. From the moment she met them, they became more than just friends-they were family. Through every late-night skate, every backyard game, and every moment in between, the Hughes boys were her safe place, they were the family she never knew that she needed. But as they grow up, Eleanor finds herself tangled in a truth too big to keep to herself. One night, she reveals a secret to Jack-something about his brother that he never saw coming. The fallout is immediate, their bond shattering in an argument neither of them can take back. When the Hughes family moves to Michigan, the distance becomes more than just physical. Calls go unanswered, messages remain unsent, and the once-unbreakable connection between Eleanor and Jack fades into silence. Years later, when fate brings them back into each other's lives, old wounds resurface, and Eleanor must face the truth: some stories don't end the way you expect-but that doesn't mean they're over.

Quinn Hughes has the world watching him and no one actually seeing him. New captain of the Vancouver Canucks. Golden boy on the surface. But behind the press conferences and perfectly tailored suits is a man unraveling slowly, quietly. The kind of man who smiles like it hurts and doesn't let anyone close enough to see. Until her. She barely remember the night. But he's spent every night since remembering only her. Michigan. A country festival. She walked wearing denim shorts and a don't-fuck-with-me smile, smelling spicy. She didn't give him her name. She barely gave him a second look. But Quinn? He's been building fantasies around her ever since. All-consuming ones. Elizabeth Woods. Pediatric intern. Raised in the shadows of a mother who loved like a loaded gun. She's gentle in a way that feels dangerous, like she's trying to undo years of damage with one soft look and steady hands. She's the kind of woman who tucks blankets around strangers but doesn't flinch when someone screams. She's standing across from him, stunned, breathless, just as fucking shocked. Because this city's too big. Too full. And still, somehow they found each other again. She thought he was a bartender. A finance guy. A pretty face with a sharp jaw and nothing behind the eyes. She had no idea he was him. The name on every screen. The jersey hanging in every bar. And now he's in her orbit again, asking questions with his eyes, tugging at threads she's spent years trying to stitch shut. She carries her past like a diagnosis, incurable. And Quinn sees her. He wants her in a way that has nothing to do with love. This is concussion-level craving. A full-body, penalty-box, scream-into-the-wall obsession. She's the one thing that makes him forget the rules. But the closer he gets, the more the past starts bleeding into the present. She's not just a girl he can't forget. She's the trigger to everything he's spent years burying. "You don't even remember me." "Bullshit. You ruined me."
