ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date February 13, 2025
What started as a job has led to some frightening confessions.
Edin
One mistake can ruin your life. I learned that at fifteen when my hormones got the best of me and I was landed with an unwanted pregnancy. My parents decided to punish me and forced me out of the sport I love to raise my child and provide for my newly forced-upon-us-both marriage.
One mistake can cost a life. My life. If not for my best friend who rescued me and my daughter, I’d have ended it all.
It’s been three years and all I want is to embrace this new lease I have on life – my daughter, school, and hockey.
One mistake can change your life. When an “adult” job leads to some complications, I realize that maybe I didn’t build my walls high enough to keep everyone out.
Elijah
My obsession started through a screen as I edited the videos my fraternity’s basement project Confessions produces. His name is Edin and I’m enthralled. While I don’t participate in shoots often, I make an exception.
Edin is everything – Beautiful, mysterious, needy. He’s also very clearly broken. The very first time we’re together on screen, he breaks down after the shoot and I hold him for what feels like days as he trembles.
He refuses to let me into his life, no matter how many times I partner with him or run into him completely coincidentally. That is, until he has a hockey accident that leaves him bed-ridden and he needs help with his daughter.

REVIEW: This book is a second generation story. All grown up and facing their own challenges.
You can read Elijah’s parents books “Wingman Score”, the fifth book in the author’s hockey series, For Puck’s Sake.” but it will only give you insight on the parents. So not really necessary to enjoy this book.
Edin was in the last book (Rumor Has It) and although it’s not needed to be read, it does give some insight as to where Edin’s head is at, but it’s repeated in this book, so it’s up to you if you read it. He’s struggled so much! And all you want is for him to be happy. But in order to be happy, he needs to heal. I don’t think his parents needed to force him to marry and be “normal!” They also force him to give up ice hockey, so Edin has nothing to ground him!
Elijah is obsessed with Edin (not in the morally grey way) he’s fascinated and intrigued by the broken man he sees. And the only way to connect with him is through the connections site that Elijah edits. So he books all of the slots and slowly makes Edin see him.
It’s not an easy book, it’s not a cute book. It raises issues that are a big deal into today’s world. It also shows that family doesn’t have to be biological, you can find your people and make them family. And Edin has this, but it takes a while for him to figure this out.
Edin’s daughter is so cute and it made me smile that she has so many people watching out for her.
I love this world. It just gets bigger and bigger.
I love the words the author leaves before and after the book, some are thought provoking, but most of it just explains the book and how she deals with her world.
Please read the trigger warnings that come with the book.
So although not my favourite series in this world, it’s still a beautifully written book and one I’d highly recommend.

Crea lives in upstate New York with her dog and husband. She has been writing since grade school, when her second grade teacher had her class keep writing journals. She has a habit of creating secondary, and often time tertiary, characters that take over her stories. All of her RH relationships end up being heavily polyamorous – meaning it’s not just all the men for one woman. There’s also some M/M action going on. When she can’t fall asleep at night, she thinks up new scenes for her characters to act out. This, of course, is how most of her meant-to-be-thrown-away characters tend to end up front and center – and utterly swoon-worthy! Don’t ask her how many book boyfriends she has…
When not writing, Crea is an avid reader. Her TBR pile is several hundred books high (don’t even look at her kindle wish list or the unread books on her tablet). Sometimes, she enjoys crafting; sometimes, exploring nature; sometimes, traveling. Mostly, she enjoys putting her characters on paper and breathing life into them. Oh, and sleeping. Crea loves to sleep!
