Eden Christiansen never imagined her role as her younger brother Owen’s cheerleader would keep her on the sidelines of her own life. Sure, it feels good to be needed, but looking after the reckless NHL rookie leaves little time for Eden to focus on her own career. She dreamed of making a name for herself as a reporter, but is stuck writing obits—and starting to fear she doesn’t have the chops to land a major story. If only someone would step up to mentor Owen . . . but she knows better than to expect help from team veteran and bad-boy enforcer Jace Jacobsen.
Jace has built his career on the infamous reputation of his aggressive behavior—on and off the ice. Now at a crossroads about his future in hockey, that reputation has him trapped. And the guilt-trip he’s getting from Eden Christiansen isn’t making things any easier. But when Owen’s carelessness leads to a career-threatening injury and Eden stumbles upon a story that could be her big break, she and Jace are thrown together . . . and begin to wonder if they belong on the same team after all.

Warren is truly a gifted writer. Her stories have depth, her characters leap to life and she weaves in truths about God and faith into a story where it isn't stand out in your face but it is the essence and flow, the breath of the story... beautiful!This story totally captured me. From the beginning I was into it, and then I was engrossed and flying through the pages. It was so hard last night (very late last night) to finally have to put it down half way through and go to bed. This story had me chuckling out loud at some points, grinning at others, touched and tearful at one point. I came away blessed by the message and story, encouraged and uplifted. Really looking forward to the next novel in this series!
Oh and by the way, the prequel novella (included with purchase) is WONDERFUL!!! Loved reading about the romance that started it all.
