About this ebook

USA Today bestselling author Catherine Gayle presents another novel in the emotional Portland Storm hockey romance series.

Recovering addict Nicklas Ericsson, star goaltender for the Portland Storm, is ready for a comeback—both on the ice and in his personal life. But when his sister begs for his help with an earth-shattering request he can’t refuse, Nicky worries the stress will send him over the edge into a relapse.

As the vice-president of a non-profit organization, Jessica Lynch has worked with her fair share of addicts. She’s always managed to keep her distance and prevent them from pulling at her heartstrings—but Nicky Ericsson proves to be the one exception. Something about the goalie draws her to him.

With an instant and mutual attraction, Nicky and Jessica explore the boundaries of their relationship. While Nicky struggles with his recovery, Jessica fears he won’t be able to handle all that’s been thrown his way. Will his addiction get the best of him, or can Nicky pull off the Comeback of a lifetime?

Nicky is getting his life back on track, his sister shows up from Sweden with her three children in tow along with a secret she's been keeping from Nicky for years. One that will change lives forever. Jessica Lynch works with the Light the Lamp Foundation and because of the fact that Nicky plays for the Storm, but more importantly because of the addictions he's battled, he wants to get more involved with the causes the foundation supports, meaning he’ll be a much bigger part of her life. She's instantly attracted, but her past makes her less than enthusiastic to take on another relationship, let alone one with a man who has just gotten clean after years of addiction. When Nicky and Jessica are brought together under some of the most difficult circumstances imaginable, the couple has to determine what their relationship really is. Are they friends? Are they more? Do they want to be more than friends? And, how do you navigate the uncertain waters of family complications while in a new relationship? Catherine Gayle has created one of her most memorable books in Comeback. We experience highs, lows and terrible loss, along with moments of hilarity and lightheartedness.

I become giddy with excitement when I see a new book from Catherine Gayle’s Portland Storm Series. I honestly do not know how Ms. Gayle does it but book after book she keeps bringing it and I loved this book more than the last. Which is crazy because I think she can’t top it and she always does! You’ll need your tissues when reading this book and you’ll need them from nearly the beginning. You’ve been warned. I cried reading this and not the pretty cry (I don’t have a pretty cry) but the ugly go hide in your room becuase you don’t want your husband to see you cry. I adore Ms. Gayle voice as she is pushing the limit and talking about real issues that many people can relate to. Also, the hockey component is awesome. When you get down to it the romance is sweet and wonderful. If you have not noticed by now I LOVE this series.
