About This Book
Carolina Cold Fury winger Garrett Samuelson has built his life around the next good time, moving through hockey stardom and casual romance with equal ease. When he crosses paths with Olivia Case, he expects another brief, uncomplicated connection, but she resists him in ways no one else has. What begins as pursuit becomes something far more layered as both characters are forced to confront the gap between the lives they present to the world and what they're quietly carrying underneath.
Cris Dukehart and Graham Halstead bring a genuine push-and-pull energy to the dual narration that the story depends on. Dukehart renders Olivia's guarded warmth with quiet precision, while Halstead gives Garrett a cocky charm that never tips into caricature. Together they sustain the romantic tension across a runtime that moves briskly for nearly nine and a half hours. Sawyer Bennett's emotional beats land harder spoken aloud, and the format makes the vulnerability each character slowly reveals feel earned rather than convenient.
