Red Valley Ravens 2 - Fresh Ice

Armed with a backpack full of dog-eared romance novels and a desperate need to start over, Sarah Hammond runs away from the only life she’s ever known. Her abusive uncle has controlled her for too long, and Red Valley feels like the perfect place to disappear. What she doesn’t expect is Nathan Connors—the Red Valley Ravens’ backup goaltender, a man nursing his own troubled past. Patient, steady, and endlessly kind, he offers Sarah the one thing she’s never truly known: safety. And with every shared moment, Nathan begins to show her that not all stories end in pain. As Sarah finds strength in the town’s warmth and Nathan’s steady kindness, she begins to believe she can have the happy ending she’s only ever read about. But just when freedom feels within reach, her past comes roaring back. Her uncle is hunting her down, and this time, he’s not letting go without a fight. Fresh Ice is a deeply emotional story of love, survival, and the healing power of trust. Perfect for readers who love fresh beginnings, protective heroes, and heroines who are brave enough to find their voice after the storm. *Although part of a series, Fresh Ice can be read as a stand-alone, as can all the books in the Red Valley Ravens series.*
