Tijan delivers another powerhouse of an angsty, emotionally charged romance that grips you from the first page and refuses to let go.
Rain, a sports psychologist with a complicated past, joins the Minnesota Grey Wolfs to help the team reach their full potential. Hockey isn’t just her profession—it’s her history, her heartbreak, and her hidden identity. Estranged from her brothers and father, Rain carries deep scars from a childhood where she was unseen, unloved, and ultimately cast out.
Enter Tyler Griffin—one of the top five hockey players in the league—who transfers to the Grey Wolfs to support his twin sister after a family crisis. Rain and Griff share a tangled past: she once crushed on him in high school, while his family’s tragedy intersected with hers in painful ways. Their reunion sparks immediate attraction, but also dredges up old wounds, rivalries, and secrets.
This isn’t just a romance—it’s a story about invisible wounds. Rain’s journey is heartbreaking:
• Her father’s rejection and her brothers’ cruelty left her believing she was unworthy of love.
• Griff’s protective instincts toward his sister and niece mirror Rain’s own yearning for family.
• Mal’s revelation introduces the “invisible child syndrome,” a devastating reminder of how neglect can shape a life.
Rain’s vulnerability—her admission of contemplating ending her life—makes her eventual healing all the more powerful. With Griff’s love, Mal’s support, and the team’s loyalty, she begins to rewrite the narrative of her worth.
The hockey backdrop is more than sport—it’s the heartbeat of the novel. Rain’s strategies transform the Grey Wolfs into a cohesive unit, and her presence becomes the glue holding them together. The games against Boston and Montreal are not just battles on the ice but symbolic confrontations with her past. Facing her brothers—Dane with reconciliation, Daniel with defiance—cements Rain’s growth and her newfound strength.
Rain and Griff’s relationship is messy, passionate, and real. From almost-kisses on the rink to nights where she swears “just once” but opens the door again, their love story is threaded with vulnerability and fire. Griff’s declaration of forever—buying a house, choosing her despite his hatred of her brothers—feels like the ultimate triumph. Rain, once unseen, is finally loved, chosen, and cherished.
Tijan masterfully balances heartbreak and hope, weaving psychological depth with tender romance. The novel explores what it means to be invisible, the scars of family betrayal, and the courage it takes to believe in love again. Rain’s journey from gray hopelessness to vibrant belonging is unforgettable.
This is a story of second chances, found family, and the healing power of love—wrapped in the adrenaline of hockey and the raw intensity of Tijan’s signature angst.
