Dancing in the Rain

"Hang on to your heart, this book will tug on all the strings."

Failure isn't getting knocked down. It's not trying to get back up again.

Drew Sellers had everything a successful hockey career offered: the hot wife, the huge house, superstar fame. Now he's alone, rattling around his empty life like the beer bottles in his recycling bin. Until a near-perfect stranger drops a bomb.

Drew has a 12-year-old daughter he never knew about. Her mother is dying. And her only remaining family, "Auntie P", looks at him like she knows exactly what he is: a washed-up winger with a bum knee and zero parenting skills.

Between her demanding job, her sister's illness, and her frightened niece, Peyton Watt has enough on her plate without Drew underfoot-an unemployed ex-jock who spends too much time drinking and living in the past.

Drew's definitely no father of the year, but as time passes, Peyton witnesses the re-emergence of the qualities that made him a star athlete-a man rising to the challenge. A man getting up one more time than he's knocked down.

A man who's remembering what it's like to win-especially her heart.
