Word He Skated Across Cinder Lake (Book 3)

Novella. One night. One stolen child. One man who can't feel his legs. And one woman who has to choose. When Beckett Lindqvist goes down on the ice at the Lakefront Classic, Wren Abernathy's world splits in two. The man she loves is being loaded into an ambulance. The little girl she'd die for has vanished through Gate Nine with her mother, and Grant Mercer is waiting at the end of that road. Wren grabs the red mitten and chases the taillights into a whiteout. What happens across the frozen lake will test everything she learned on skates and everything Beckett ever believed about trust. Bringing Maisie home is only the start. Beckett has to learn to walk again, and the grumpiest captain in hockey is facing the end of his career. His instinct is to push away the people he loves most. Grant has one last weapon, and it's aimed straight at Wren. Sloane has a choice to make. And a little girl who has rationed her words for three years has a few more to say. The final book of the series ends with a guaranteed happily ever after.
