At 22 years old, she never imagined she’d already be raising a 3 year old on her own. She became a mom at 19, and the moment her boyfriend found out she was pregnant, he left the state without looking back. Since then, it’s been just her and her son, River. River has never met his father and doesn’t even know who he is. Instead of letting heartbreak define her, she worked tirelessly to build a successful career as an event planner, giving her son the life she never had. One night, her older brother Santiago and his wife, Abby, invite her and River to a hockey game to watch Santiago play. She expects nothing more than a fun night cheering on her brother and watching River light up in the stands. But before the puck even drops, she catches the attention of one of Santiago’s teammates. What begins as a single glance soon turns into something neither of them expected a chance at a fresh start with someone who might be willing to love not only her, but the little boy who means everything to her.

@viviancastilloThe roar of the crowd was a living thing, pulsing through the concrete and vibrating up through her boots. The arena lights blazed overhead, casting everything in that sharp, hyper-real glow reserved for game nights.
