Stick Around

By: Eliza Lentzski

Narrated by: Quinn Riley

Sometimes, the best love stories get a second shot.

Reese Marlowe knows the rules of sports journalism: keep it professional, stay impartial, and absolutely never fall for an athlete. Especially not someone like Dani Callahan—Boston's golden girl and hockey's reigning queen of charm. Reese learned that lesson the hard way in college, which is why she's made it her mission to focus on her career and not the player who got away.

It's been fifteen years since Reese and Dani last saw each other, but time hasn't dulled the chemistry—or the pain of their breakup. She's determined to keep things professional, even when covering Dani means constant proximity and memories she thought she'd outgrown.

Reese has worked too hard to be distracted by a rekindled romance. But as their witty banter gives way to late-night conversations, she starts to wonder if love—and Dani—might be worth the risk.

They've been skating around their feelings. Now it's time for a second shot at love.
