As You Ice It — Emma St. Clair

If at first you don't succeed, DO NOT try, try again. At least not when it comes to dating a hockey player.

When Naomi met Camden Cole on Oakley Island, she assumed he would be gone in a week or two like any other tourist passing through.

Perfect for a fun summer relationship. A temporary one.

As a single mom to ten-year-old Liam, she's not holding out hope for husband material and is way too skittish about commitment to consider more.

So when both Naomi and Liam start getting too attached, she cuts Camden loose. Better to end things before either of their hearts could get broken.

But the joke's on her -- they broke anyway.

As an added punchline (and gut punch), her job relocates her to the town of Harvest Hollow -- where Camden plays for the Appies.

It's FINE, Naomi tells herself. He's a professional hockey player with a busy career. Their paths will never cross.

And they probably wouldn't have -- if not for Liam's newfound hockey obsession.

Now, Naomi is right back where she was last summer -- with the same feelings and the same desire to protect her and Liam.

But when Camden wants to go all-in with her and Liam, is Naomi ready to stop running?
