The Swan and The Sentinel by Bill Keenan
πͺClosed Door Romance
πSlow Burn
π©°Forced Proximity
πHockey Player x Prima Ballerina
π©°Opposing Worlds Collide
πFish Out of Water
A hockey player injured will do anything to stay on the ice. When the usual therapy doesn’t seem to work fast enough he realizes his skating days might be numbered. It will take a leap of faith and an unconventional approach if he hopes to play in the future.
A ballerina has worked her entire life towards becoming a prima ballerina. When that moment finally arrives she will need to make a choice she never expected. Will she walk away from her friends and family to take the leap? Or, will she continue to put everyone else first and put her dreams on hold hoping one day it may happen? How do you make a choice knowing youβll sacrifice the people you love who helped you get to this point?
Family, obligation, trust, hope, and proving your worth donβt matter unless you have someone to support you and be there to lean on. If they can overcome the obstacles, learn to have faith, and fight for what they want…they will realize that they wonβt have to go far to have their happy ending.
A sinfully sweet story with a hockey player, a ballerina, an injury, a dream opportunity, and a second chance in this story about taking risks, learning to trust, and finding a way to let go of the past.
Always honest, always my own, and thankful to Post Hill Press for the gifted mail surprise and e-arc.

A family heirloom, an unexpected proposal, and a family feud make way for a most satisfying winter adventure.
How far would you go to earn a family heirloom? Would you sacrifice love and happiness or risk it all for something far greater than a treasure to be displayed on a shelf? Be wise with your choices, weigh all the options. Watch out for meddling relatives and proceed with caution or else you might end up on a shelf too.
A sinfully sweet story with closed door romance, romantic gestures, a desire to pursue your passion, a possibility for new beginnings, and an opportunity to mend a few fences along the way is a captivating adventure to enjoy any time of the year.
I can’t wait to see what happens next in this series and look forward to reading more from this new to me author.
Always honest, always my own, and thankful to Jessa H Casey for a gifted advance reader copy.
