Description

Hallie Hart thought she had finally moved on.

After landing a dream internship with a high-profile interior designer, she’s ready for a fresh start in Chicago and far away from the heartbreak she left behind years ago.

The heartbreak named Rio deLuca.

They were once inseparable—childhood neighbors who became first loves. From the moment their families lived side by side, their connection felt inevitable. But young love doesn’t always survive growing up, and by nineteen, they had shattered each other’s hearts.

Now, six years later, fate throws them together again.

Not only does Hallie unknowingly move in next door to Rio, but her new job also requires her to renovate the hockey star’s house.

Avoiding him becomes impossible.

For Rio, seeing Hallie again stirs up memories he’s spent years trying to bury. Despite fame, friendships, and years spent searching for something meaningful, no one has ever compared to the girl next door he fell in love with when he was twelve years old.

As old feelings resurface and unresolved pain lingers between them, Hallie and Rio are forced to confront the past they left unfinished.

Because some love stories never truly end.

Sometimes they just wait for the right moment to begin again.
