Hometown Harbor (Whistleport Hockey #4)
Declan Rhodes

What he doesn't expect is Wes Hunter.
At thirty-five, Wes has turned solitude into an art form. Gruff, reclusive, and happy to let the world spin on without him, he's holed up in a weather-beaten cottage on the island's edge. Years ago, Wes was a rising hockey phenom with a future, until a family tragedy left him the hands of relatives who ripped the sport from his life.
He didn't leave hockey. It was taken from him.
Ironhook was supposed to be the one place where no one talked about ice time, slap shots, or the NHL.
But Eric isn't only cheerful and curious, he's relentless. He chips away at Wes's defenses with late-night conversations, surprise visits, and a few too many accidental heart-to-hearts. And when he finds out the truth about Wes's past, he rallies the quirky, close-knit Whistleport crew to bring hockey back into Wes's life... one skate, stick, and stolen moment at a time.
Wes exiled himself to Ironhook to disappear. Eric might be the reason he finally comes home.
Hometown Harbor, the 4th book in the Whistleport Hockey series, is a grumpy / sunshine, age gap romance with a colorful cast of small-town characters and hockey.
