The Hockey Star And The Widow He Shouldn't Love
Ann became a widow at thirty-four.
To the world, she had everything. A rich husband, a beautiful life, and a name that opened doors.
But the truth: she was never a wife; she was owned.
On the night she was about to be handed over to another man like property, Ann ran with no plan or safety. Just fear pushing her forward.
Then she crashed into him, Duke Carter, twenty-seven, Hockey superstar.
The kind of man who doesn’t stop for strangers. But he stopped for her.
What started as one night of help turns into something neither of them expected. Because Ann isn’t just running from her past… she’s carrying it. And Duke isn’t supposed to fall for a woman like her. She is older and a widow, bringing secrets that could destroy everything.
When Duke’s family turns against her, and the man she escaped comes back with a vengeance, Ann is forced to fight again… this time not just for her freedom, but for the only love she’s ever known.
Duke was never meant to choose her. But he did, and this time… he’s not letting her go.
