Star basketball player Chelsea “Nitro” Keyes had a full ride to college—and everyone’s admiration back home. Then she took a horrible fall during senior year. Now a metal plate holds her together and she feels like a stranger in her own family.
That summer, Chelsea’s dad hires Clint, a nineteen-year-old ex-hockey player and “boot camp” trainer, to work with her at a northern Minnesota lake resort. As they grow close, Chelsea finds that Clint’s haunted by his own tragedy. Will their romance end up hurting them all over again—or finally heal their heartbreak?
I love sports. I love watching sports and messing around in the backyard playing bootleg sports and I love romance novels featured around sports. So when I came across this book while blog hopping (I’m sorry, I can’t for the life of me remember where I saw this first), I did a little in my seat happy dance. This sounds like it’d be a good read and I want to read it.
The book comes out on March 1, 2011 so mark your calendars (cause I know I will) because this looks like it’d be a treat!
