Publisher's Synopsis
My childhood friend. My biggest rival. The only man I've ever wanted.
If there were a prize for the most contented man in Copper County, I'd win it every time. I've got my business. My son. My family. My friends... and no romantic prospects, sure, but only because I don't need any. My life's great as it is. Seriously. Could not be better. I'm practically bleeding serenity over here.
At least until Jasper Wrigley shows up in Copper County after twenty years-as my son's temporary hockey coach, no less, though the man could barely lace up his skates back in the day-and throws my carefully ordered life into chaos.
Once upon a time, magnetic, confident Jasper was my best friend and greatest rival, and his summer visits to town were the best part of my year. Our competitions were fierce. Our dares were thrilling. We talked about everything under the sun, and he made me believe in the possibility of a bright, hazy future somewhere just out of reach.
But then he left, and I grew up. Now the last thing I need is Jasper back in my space, provoking me, challenging me, and making me question... freaking everything.
Like whether my life'ss as perfect as I claim.
Like whether I'm as straight as I think.
Like whether there might be something better than "contentment" out there for me if I'm brave enough to look for it.
And whether the man who was always my greatest rival... might just be the love of my life.
