Twice-divorced Raleigh Hayes is escaping suburbia in the Pink Palace—her revenge purchase RV—for an eight-week sabbatical.
With her pharmacy job on pause and her ex not leaving her alone, she’s driving for freedom and ideas for snarky quotes for her cross stitch side hustle.
Atticus Knox has long harbored a crush on his older sister’s best friend since college.
So when she parks her RV in his Colorado hockey town, he wonders if this is his chance.
Hes recovering from an injury and preparing for a charity skate.
Raleigh showing up makes him question his stance on never dating, born from watching his fathers disastrous love life.
When a teammate suggests Raleigh help teach Atticus how to date, she agrees, if only for inspiration for her next batch of sarcastic embroidery.
Soon their flirty lessons blur into more than coach-student roles, stirring up memories of their New Year’s Eve kiss.
Her sabbatical is ending and her past isn’t staying behind her, so they both need to decide: was this a temporary detour, or is it a second chance worth fighting for?
