"So..."

I brush a strand of hair behind her ear.

"So?"

"No more secrets."

A smile slowly spreads across my face. "No."

I lean forward and kiss her forehead. "No more secrets."

Outside, the lights of Frostholm continue shining beneath the winter sky. For years I'd believed this penthouse protected my biggest secret.

Tonight, it witnessed something far better.

Not the end of a secret.

The beginning of complete trust.

Chapter thirty-six

Jamie

The Captain Returns

It’s been a few days since I brought Annette to the penthouse.

Honestly, nothing has changed between us.

Well...almost nothing.

Apparently, discovering your boyfriend is secretly a billionaire means someone finally replaces the eighty-seven-dollar bra she's been stubbornly refusing to buy.

For the record, I enlisted Keisha to handle the shopping.

Also, for the record, the anonymous delivery lasted approximately four seconds before Annette called to tell me I am a terrible secret gift giver.

Worth it.

Everything else has settled into something wonderfully ordinary.

Morning coffee.

Late-night phone calls.

Plans for weekends.

Dreams that somehow feel a little closer now.

It's everything I've wanted.

But tonight I have a completely different focus.

Tonight I'm stepping back onto NHL ice for the first time since the hit that changed everything.

And we're facing one of the hardest-hitting teams in the league with a well-earned reputation for finishing every check they start.

My morning arrives long before the alarm has a chance to ring.
