The Unexpected

After transferring from Northwood College. Ryleigh Sinclair finds herself drawn into a world she had vowed to avoid; the competitive hockey scene. Despite her resolution to avoid romantic entanglements with Hockey players, sharing ice time with the Briar team makes this promise increasingly difficult to keep. As Ryleigh balances her academic responsibilities, her figure skating career, and her personal well- being, she discovers that maintaining her emotional boundaries is increasingly challenging. Her resolve is tested further when she encounters John Logan, as their initial playful banter evolves into a connection neither expected.

But then came that ordinary practice and everything shifted.
