It's time this love broke free... Paloma Blake is, at best, antagonistic. But beneath the hairspray, attitude and promiscuity is a scared girl whose trauma runs deep. Still, the walls she's built are strong, ensuring everyone only sees her sexy façade. Everyone except for Bennett. Bennett Reiner - the carefully controlled, neurodivergent goalie for the Waterfell University ice hockey team - has his routines and sticks to them.
They help him keep a hold on his OCD compulsions and the crippling anxiety that comes with them. But quiet and meticulous Bennett sees everything, especially the girl beneath Paloma's ever-present masks. And he always has. Three years after their earth-shattering break-up - and still hiding that it ever happened from their friends - Bennett still doesn't know why Paloma broke his heart, and Paloma is determined to stay away from the comfort she used to find only in his arms.
But, like a tumultuous sea to a constant shore, Bennett and Paloma have a way of crashing into each other. And letting go of everything else might be worth it - if it means they both get the real love they once shared again ...
