Tatum Williams has been through it all.

She lost her Dad when she was just a kid before meeting her childhood sweetheart who tragically passed away years later, leaving her to deal with her cancer diagnosis by herself. Now, just over four years later, she's healthy and happy-ish, getting her first teaching job right out of school. But everything crumbles around her when she's diagnosed with cancer again, even more aggressive than the last.

                 
Mike Nolan is having trouble getting back out onto the ice. 

 After dealing with a head injury that took him out for over a month, Mike can barely tie his skates up without panicking.  Worried he'll never be able to play again, Mike reaches out to Tatum, retired World Champion figure skater for help to get back out there.  Learning she's dealing with her recent diagnosis, Mike offers to come support her during chemo while she helps him get his confidence back.

Not wanting to do this alone for the second time, Tatum agrees. With this new arrangement, both of them battle many fears, unknowingly healing each other's scars.

But when feelings get involve, will Tatum be able to let go of her past and will Mike finally start believing that love does in fact actually exist?

🌸 So far, so good. Despite everything, Madeline's still standing, still living - though her life has been upended more than once. Moving from America to England wasn't exactly easy but oddly enough, the return was much simpler. With little more than the bare minimum from her parents, and diabetes always complicating things, she had to rely on her brother for real help. Now, as she steps back into Nashville, she wonders how this might realign her path. Somehow, everything feels like it's falling into place. She's exactly where she needs to be - though there's one complication : a boy. Something she didn't planned at all. And maybe he's part of the plan, too. Maybe for the better. 🏒 Hockey has always been one of Jude's greatest loves, ever since he can remember. And to be blunt, he's damn good at it. But don't mistake him for the typical player type you read about in books. He doesn't have girls lining up outside his door, and when there is someone, he treats her right - once, and only once. It's a rule he set for himself. He met his best friend Colin during a hockey game, both rooting for opposite teams. Colin was on the wrong side, of course, but somehow, they became inseparable. Colin has diabetes, so over time, he learned how to help. What he didn't expect was for that knowledge to help him with a girl. A girl more complicated than any genetic disease. But maybe that's a challenge worth taking. ° ° ° Welcome to this new book. Please don't forget to vote, comment and share ❤️
