About this audiobook

After landing her dream job as an assistant buyer for a luxury fashion retailer in Minneapolis, Taylor Hartigan's life becomes a nightmare. Performing mundane tasks and catering to the ridiculous whims of the boss from hell, she sees no opportunity for advancement. Though she's never quit anything in her life, Taylor walks out and heads home to Chicago, the city that holds her heart. With her confidence shaken and no job on the horizon, she knows she has to find herself again. Once she arrives, she's shocked to learn hockey player Hunter Riley has been traded to the Chicago Buffaloes. Taylor met Hunter the previous season when his hard-hitting play broke the glass in front of her. Meeting him after the game, something passed between them-and has stayed with her ever since. Since she's followed his career, she knows he's coming off a disastrous season in Houston, and must rediscover his game in Chicago-or face losing his hockey dream. The timing couldn't be worse for the pair to become involved since they're both at a crossroads but the chemistry between them can't be denied. Taylor worries that their budding relationship won't survive the challenges of rebuilding two broken careers. Can the new versions of themselves fit together? Or tear them apart? Or will love be the bottom line, after all?
