Stuck with my Childhood Crush: A Sweet Second Chance Hockey Romance

(Previously published as Stuck with my Childhood Crush by Addison Grace.)

I’m trapped in a blizzard with the man I ghosted—a decade-old heartbreak on skates.

Now we’re stuck sharing one cot… with nowhere to hide.

Cole Dawson is hockey’s golden boy. Big. Brooding. Still jaw-droppingly handsome.

He recognizes me instantly—despite the years, the distance, and the name I buried everything under. My father's scandal nearly took down the league—and I disappeared from everything to survive it.

Now we’re locked in until morning, the walls and our past closing in with every heartbeat.

Each look sparks the pull of a first love we never got to finish.

Each word rewinds time until I’m falling again—hard, and fast.

I tell myself I’m here to build my career, but every smile, every touch, pulls me deeper.

If anyone ever connects the dots—links me to the man who rigged games and shattered careers—everything I’ve built could disappear.

My job. My credibility. The second chance I’ve clawed my way toward.

And Cole could lose everything just for standing next to me.

I already lost him once. Now I’m risking my job, my reputation—and worst of all, my heart.
