She's finally ready to grab for that tiny brass ring, but her potential new massage client shakes her resolve.Forrest Williams had finally healed from the car accident that killed his fiancée, but a new injury now threatens his professional hockey career.

Giving up the career of her dreams is unthinkable, but losing the freedom and joy she'd always found in her art is unbearable, and Tess can't seem to find a way to have both at once.
