Giulia Bernardi has built her career on a single rule: nothing comes onto the ice except the stone. Not fear. Not regret. Not Easton Carter, captain of Canada’s national hockey team, with those blue eyes you never forget and far too much still hanging in the air between them.
Twenty days. One whole Olympics, and a story that never really ended.
Easton looks at her as if three years never happened. She wants to focus on the competition and nothing else. But the village is small, the ice is the same for everyone, and some tensions don’t stay quiet for long.
The Last Stone is a sports romance about the courage to choose yourself, the other person, or both. About what happens when you stop running from something that’s worth everything.
The first book in the Medals & Kisses series: stories of elite athletes, breathtaking competition, and love that always shows up at the wrong time.
