eBook Description: Maddie's thrilled when her high school crush reappears after 20 years. But can Jack solve mysteries in her past, overcome the specter of a dead husband and still come out the hero? Of course he will try; he's In Too Deep. Ice Hockey. Strong coffee. His infant son, Duncan. Three things Jack McKenzie could not do without. Now he was about to add a fourth: Beautiful, green-eyed Madelyn Cross has reappeared in his life after a 20 year hiatus, with a load of baggage and a history riddled with emotional landmines. He could keep her from falling on the ice, but could he keep her from falling into the rabbit hole to the past, making a treacherous journey back to another time and a passion thought long dead? "You waited for me before, can you do it again?" Maddie begs him. Of course Jack will wait. He has no choice; he is In Too Deep?

You can do this. I want you to skate alone around the rest of the way."
"No, I'm scared." "Trust me, Maddie. You've got to trust me. I'll be right behind you." "What if I fall?" "I can skate faster than you can fall," he whispered, and Maddie closed her eyes against the shiver that enveloped her body. He gave her a little push and she began to skate, dreading the moment he would let go. And of course, he did let go, hanging back to give her room to skate ahead. The girls at the window were rapt, whispering and giggling quietly as they watched their hero skate with his new girlfriend. Even some of his teammates stopped near the locker room door to watch the arena and the attention Jack was paying to the pretty girl in the pink sweater. Maddie was barely breathing. God, I have to do this. Trust Jack. Don't let me fall! Slowly, carefully, Maddie took the curve at the far end of the oval rink, concentrating on looking smooth and capable. She didn't dare wonder if Jack was still behind her, or how far away he was. She kept her eyes on the exit door. She was doing fine until the sound of an engine, a loud sound akin to that of a giant lawnmower, pervaded the rink and startled Maddie from her ice exhibition. Abruptly she turned her head in the direction of the sound, and the break in concentration disrupted her momentum, making her off-balance and wobbly. Instantly she looked down at her skates, trying to get back into rhythm, but it was too late. She tried to remember how to drag the toe of her skate to brake, and in doing so made herself even more insecure. Terror filled her head. Oh no, I'm going down! The thought did not even fully cross her mind and Jack was with her, his arms not merely grasping her waist but wrapped fully around her, the heat of his chest warming her back and shoulders. Looking forward, Maddie realized they were only a few feet away from the rink door.
