Sadie wants to stop feeling so much.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"csDF76FDB\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"cs8130CDB\"\u003eRhys Koteskiy\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"csDF76FDB\"\u003e is back – at least, he’s supposed to be. During last year’s Frozen Four, the Waterfell University hockey captain and NHL legacy took a brutal hit that left him with a concussion and a new discomfort on the ice. Plagued by nightmares and panic attacks every time he attempts to skate, Rhys wonders if he’ll ever play again – or if he’ll ever want to.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"cs8130CDB\"\u003eSadie Brown\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"csDF76FDB\"\u003e is staying focused this semester – no matter what. Currently drowning in debt, custody hearings for her younger brothers, and skating practices, she’s just trying to make it to the next day. A spitfire figure skater known for her bad attitude and frequent disappearing acts, Sadie has a reputation on campus. And it’s not a pretty one.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhen she accidentally witnesses one of the golden boy hockey captain’s panic attacks and attempts to help him, a strange sort of understanding strikes up between them. No questions asked. Just comfort. But Rhys finds himself drawn to Sadie. Where he feels empty, a shell of the man and player he was before, Sadie is so full of everything, it bursts from her; every emotion she feels seems like it’s blasted at max volume. But healing doesn’t mix with secrets, and they’re both skating on thin ice.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dear Village","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52815428649236,"sku":"9781398537088","price":24.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0679\/6460\/0596\/files\/9781398537088_1.jpg?v=1784348802"},{"product_id":"this-summer-will-be-different","title":"This Summer Will Be Different","description":"\r\n\t\t\r\n\t\t\r\n\t\t\u003cstyle type=\"text\/css\"\u003e.csDF76FDB{12pt;font-weight:normal;color:#181B21;font-style:normal;Segoe UI;} .cs3388614{text-align:left;margin:0pt 0pt 10pt 0pt;line-height:1.15;text-indent:0pt} .cs199E8EB{12pt;font-weight:bold;color:#181B21;font-style:italic;Segoe UI;}\u003c\/style\u003e\r\n\t\r\n\t\u003cp class=\"cs3388614\"\u003e\u003ca id=\"_dx_frag_StartFragment\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan class=\"cs199E8EB\"\u003eThey can't be together, but they can't stay apart.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"csDF76FDB\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe first time Lucy and Felix meet, she is a tourist vacationing at a beach house on Prince Edward Island. He is the local who shows her a very good night. She has no clue that he is her best friend's younger brother. Their chemistry is off the charts, but the list of reasons they can't be together is much longer.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEvery summer, Lucy visits the island with Bridget for a big breath of fresh air, to gorge on oysters and vinho verde, and to soak up sunny days on red sand beaches.

With every furtive glance and electrifying touch, she becomes more entranced by this man who wears his heart on his sleeve even as he remains completely off-limits to her. What started as a one-time thing becomes six years of keeping secrets and telling lies-to her best friend, to Felix, to herself. That's why, last summer, she broke things off for good.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhen Bridget faces the biggest crisis of her life, Lucy knows she needs to take her back home.
