The Cold Blue Line

Colin Reeve has spent his career being the wall. He does not let pucks through and he does not let people in. Maren Voss did both — one season stitching him up in the training room, and then she was gone. He told himself he didn't care. Now she is back in his arena with a new job, a truckload of secrets, and a two-month-old baby in a car seat who has his exact eyes. Colin says nothing for six weeks. He notices everything. When Maren's apartment floods, the only spare room in the city belongs to the coldest defenseman in Montreal, and he offers it in four words. Living with her is easy. Loving her was never the problem. The secret is. And it is about to walk out the door.
