Description:
Hallie and Rio grew up next door to each other: he was her first crush, then her first love—until a heartbreak at nineteen blew everything up. Six years later, Hallie moves to Chicago for a dream interior design internship, only to discover she’s living next door to Rio again… and the big renovation she’s assigned is his house. Rio, now a Chicago pro hockey star and the last single guy in the Windy City friend group, is still hurt and convinced love doesn’t exist—until Hallie walks back into his life and forces him to replay every memory he’s tried to bury. As they clash over paint colors, furniture, and their shared past, a second-chance, neighbors-again romance unfolds, wrapped in found family vibes and heavy hockey-boy yearning.

Childhood friends-to-lovers; second chance; neighbors to lovers (again); pro hockey MMC; forced proximity through home renovation; big found-family friend group; angsty, emotional, very spicy sports romance.
