My Best Happy Ending by Kate Perry is now live!
I left my hometown twenty years ago with a broken heart and something to prove.
Now I'm back.
Forty.
Feral.
Done pretending and dangerously close to losing control over the one man I never forgot.
Hunter Bailey is Rough and Ready's golden boy turned successful contractor--the blue-collar hero with rough hands, a filthy mouth, and a memory that cuts too deep. We were high school sweethearts once, until one devastating night tore us apart.
I'd wondered if Hunter and I could rekindle our love, but it's been two years and he hasn't made a move.
I'm done waiting.
I know I need to get over the past.
But an unhinged moment turns into a night that should be a mistake.
It doesn't feel that way though.
And Hunter doesn't kiss me like an ex.
He kisses me like a man who never stopped loving me.

Omg is that it? Is this the end of the series? I’m not ready but I also don’t know if I can watch the Stockton family go through any more. And this feels like everything is so perfectly wrapped up. I think I can happily put the book down without any lingering questions. But damn these men have owned me and the ladies they love are so perfectly matched to them it’s been a great ride.
Aspen’s return home with Fallon coinciding with Bishop’s return from the dead had me instantly excited. And the history between those two was hot and sweet. But then there were so many levels to their past that I felt like we were watching an onion being peeled and waiting to see the center.
Bishop was so determined to not just win Aspen over but also to do it on her terms. I couldn’t have respected him more. And I liked that Aspen put certain things in place for everyone’s well being but she didn’t play games. She put Fallon first in her decisions but not without also being the parent and ensuring the best for everyone.
They were such a great couple, the chemistry was perfect and I'm so glad to see everyone get their much deserved happily ever after.

About the Book
He’s the NHL’s most guarded single dad.
She’s the one woman who can’t afford to fall for him.
Tori Wells didn’t fight her way into the NHL just to become another cautionary tale. As a team physical therapist, she lives by strict rules: heal the players, protect her career, and never—ever—cross the line with a hockey player.
Then she’s assigned to Zayden Bishop.
On the ice, he’s untouchable—a French-Canadian superstar with a reputation for being cold, private, and impossible to read. Off the ice, he’s a devoted single father running on discipline, stubbornness, and too little sleep. Until a serious shoulder injury threatens his season—and the stability he’s built for his six-year-old daughter.
Tori is in charge of his rehab. Full oversight. Daily sessions.
No room for mistakes.
No room for attraction.
Except Zayden isn’t what she expected.
The more time they spend together—early mornings, quiet road trips, late-night conversations—the harder it becomes to pretend this is just professional. Because Zayden doesn’t just need his shoulder fixed. He needs someone who sees the man behind the jersey.
And Tori is dangerously close to becoming that someone.
Crossing the line could cost her everything she’s worked for. And Zayden can’t risk bringing anyone into his daughter’s life unless he’s certain they’ll stay.

He’s a convicted killer.
I’m his nurse.
And he saw my bruises.
Now he keeps getting hurt on purpose,
just to see that I’m safe.
As a prison nurse, I keep my heart locked away tighter than the men I treat.
No gray areas.
No second chances.
Especially not after escaping my abusive ex.
Then Knox Blackwood, the most dangerous man in the prison, winds up in my infirmary.
Whatever he did to get locked up remains the prison’s darkest secret.
He should terrify me.
Instead, he sees what no one else does.
The scars.
The flinch when a door slams.
The fear I can’t bury.
“Who hurt you?” he growls.
When I don’t answer, Knox starts showing up in my infirmary every day.
New wounds.
Suspicious injuries.
Getting hurt on purpose,
just for five minutes with me.
Just to make sure I’m safe.
I tell myself I can’t fall for an inmate.
I won’t.
Especially not one who’s now harboring a violent vendetta against my ex.
But every stolen touch feels like salvation.
And every whispered promise paves the road to our future.
Knox is one parole hearing from freedom.
If we stay careful, maybe he’ll get out.
Reunite with his daughter.
And we’ll have a life beyond these walls.
All I have to do
is keep Knox from killing the man who hurt me.
That’s the plan.
Until my violent ex steps into the prison
as Knox’s new guard…
