If Sophie wants to try to see where things go with Kyle, she will have to decide if she can stay and fight for him, or leave once again. Maybe with the help of some of his teammates, they can get the life and love they have both found with each other.
Really cute story. I love how they find shelter in each other. I love how they work out a plan to get the better of Sophie’s ex, who just won’t go away, even with a protective order.
Lots of sparks, a girl next door, and a love that is meant to be.
Kyle Larson is looking forward to his off season and having the opportunity to escape the limelight and his money hungry relatives for a while. While he appreciates the extravagances that come with his career as a athlete, he is more than ready to give it all up for a bit and just enjoy the peace and tranquility of his new secluded cabin. He has come to a point in his career where he needs to make a plan for his future, and put down roots some where, and he is hoping Noel will be the place he can do that. When he decides to take in the sights of Noel and do a little site seeing and shopping he gets the surprise of his life… the woman who stole his heart years ago has recently also taken residence in the town of Noel. He’s not sure if it’s fate or just good fortune, all he knows for certain is that he’s not ready to let her getaway a second time.
Sophie Hayes moved to Noel in hopes of finding a safe place to fall for a while, and possibly find some semblance of a normal life. Leaving her family behind, and going on the run was the hardest thing she has ever had to do, but she figured it was the only way she could protect herself from her dangerous ex. For the first time in quite a while she is able to carry on with her day without having to constantly look over her shoulder, and she is actually starting to enjoy her new life in Noel, especially when a certain handsome football walks back into her life…
