'No one really does it better than Elsie Silver' THE RADIO TIMES 'Elsie Silver is rapidly becoming one of my favourite romance authors' DAILY MAIL 🏒 "You can wear someone else's ring, but we both know you've always been mine." To Jasper Gervais's fans, he's just the handsome hockey heartthrob on TV. But to Sloane, he'll always be her childhood best friend - the lost boy with sad eyes and a heart of gold. The man she's loved in secret for years. So when everything falls apart on the day she's supposed to marry someone else, it only makes sense that he's the one to swoop in and save her. And when his world comes crashing down around him, she's there to return the favour. Desperate for an escape, they set off on an impromptu road trip. But the more time alone they spend together, the more obvious it becomes that Jasper isn't looking at her like a friend anymore. He isn't touching her like one, either. And after all this time, he's still everything she's ever wanted, everything she thought she could never have. Their feelings are anything but straightforward. They twist and turn around the pain of his past and the reality of Sloane's present. And after years of turning her away, Jasper might act like he wants her, but he's going to need to prove it.
