Release Date: August 29, 2024

REVIEW:
4 Stars
This is the first book in a multi author series. I'm already hooked. I've fallen in love with the small town of Maple Falls. Ellie has preconceived notions of who she thinks Zach is before meeting him. Zach is getting some pretty bad press and he is on his way to Maple Falls to hide out, but trouble follows. I really enjoyed the scenes when Ellie is teaching her class skating. Ellie is going to have to rely on her gut to tell her who is telling the truth, but Zach sure pleads his case unknowingly when he lends a helping hand. One bad news character needs a visit from karma asap. I loved the sense of humor in this book. A very enjoyable books that has me looking forward to the next book in the series.
 
BLURB:
What do an entitled billionaire and small-town ice-skating coach have in common?

Ellie
My life is not turning out like I thought it would.

My mom’s arthritis has gotten so bad that I had to move in with her. I’m making ends meet by giving ice skating lessons at the arena in Maple Falls. I’d be in serious trouble had the Harts not given me that job.

Which makes it impossible to say no when they ask me to let Troy’s obnoxious billionaire brother stay in the cabin on my mom’s property during the charity hockey event they’re running.

Zach
First the tabloids call me out for being a cheapskate and then Yolanda Simms takes to national television to tell everyone what a vicious heartbreaker I am?

Yeah, my life has been better.

My brother thinks I can fix my bad press by coming to Maple Falls and donating big to his new charity endeavor. Too bad he didn’t mention the woman who owns the cottage I’ll be staying at hates me with a passion.

He also didn’t mention she’s everything I’ve ever looked for in a woman…
