Unfortunately for me, my happy ending was divorce, and learning to find myself all over again. I was done with men and relationships, or so I thought, until a stubborn hockey player was determined to show me what love could really be... moreLaura I believed in the fairytale.

I almost gave all that up, thanks to a traumatic experience at the start of my career. Instead of letting it define me, I chose to rise above. I showed everyone what a woman on a mission could accomplish, and now I’m living my dream. After one chance meeting, my entire world changes. Austin is every woman’s fantasy, and he wants me.
