Hockey Romance! Face Offs & Fresh Starts by Ashley Malinowski

 

Stryker Fisher has always been the one who holds the line—both on the ice and off—the captain his team relies on, the brother who holds it all together when life checks you from behind. But when tragedy strikes his family, even he can’t keep everything from falling apart. The only unexpected constant in the chaos? Willow Donovan. A nurse who refuses to leave. A quiet, steady presence in the middle of a mess. A stranger who somehow understands the weight he refuses to put down. She was never supposed to become part of his world. But one conversation turns into late-night check-ins. Check-ins turn into something deeper. And before long, Willow isn’t just a memory from a hard night—she’s the one person Stryker can’t seem to let go of. There’s just one problem. Loyalty runs deep in the Fisher family, and Stryker isn’t sure he’s allowed to move forward while his twin brother is still learning how to live again. And Willow isn’t sure she belongs in a life shaped by grief, fame, and expectations she never asked for. But when friendship begins to blur into something more, they’re forced to face the truth: Some risks are worth taking. Some love is worth the wait. Because sometimes the hardest faceoff… is choosing between fear and the life you could have. Faceoffs & Fresh Starts is the second book in the Silverwood Snipers series.
