Blurb:

If you get a second chance at love with your hockey star ex, should you take it?

Keira
What do you do when your NHL superstar ex skates back into your small town? Drop to the ground and hide behind the bleachers, hoping he doesn’t see you. But Lady Luck must be in a bad mood today because Dan spots me, my hood over my eyes, pretending I’m not there.

Mature? No.

Necessary? Oh, yes.

Humiliation washes over me, and the wall around my heart stands firm. Dan might be back, but I can’t afford to let him in again. Not after the heartbreak of losing him once before.

When he offers to coach my nephew, I reluctantly agree. Every smile he flashes at me, every kind word, threatens to crack my resolve. But I can’t go through that again. I have to protect my heart.

Dan
I want Keira back. End of story.

The Rebound Play is part of the Love on Thin Ice sweet hockey romcom series. It’s a second chance at love story about a jock and a nerd who get a second chance in this small town romance with all the sizzle and chemistry, but none of the spice.

Excerpt:
“The step. It was broken this morning when you left, and now …”
I narrow my eyes at her. “What has the broken step got to do with Dan?”
“It seems I’m going to have to spell this out to you. Dan came over this afternoon when you were out.”
My heart rate jumps at the thought of Dan coming to my house again. “He did?”
Clara nods. “He brought a hammer and nails.”
“Why would he bring—” My mind finally catches up on what Clara is telling me. “Dan fixed the broken step?” I ask, my voice coming out all breathy.
Her knowing smile morphs into a broad grin. “He fixed the step.”
Clara looks out the kitchen window, and I hear the rumble of an engine. “Oh, and one other thing, sis. He’s coming back to take you out, right about now.”
“Wait, what?!” I squeal, my pulse banging against my ribs like a caged animal trying to escape. Dan fixed the step? And now he’s here to take me out? 
“Did I not tell you?” Clara asks, her face bright. 
“I might have remembered that if you had!” I reply, clutching a tea towel and plate in my hands. “Is it a date? As in a proper date? It’s a date, isn’t it? Clara?”
My sister is now beaming like the Cheshire cat. “It’s a date.” She places a hand on my shoulder. “Be careful. Okay, Keeks?”
“Be careful? Why?” I ask, confused, as I peer out the window at Dan, closing the door of his SUV and making his way toward the entrance to the house.
Dan. Here. Taking me on a date.
I might pass out.
“Because, Kiki, you might just get everything you ever wanted.”
