In this small-town, contemporary romance, what starts as playful banter between an off-season hockey star and a people pleasing event server quickly becomes something neither of them expected-easy, electric, and impossible to ignore.
Aria Foster is the kind of woman who keeps herself busy enough to never stop and wonder if she's enough. Long shifts as an event server at an exclusive Lake Tahoe resort? Check. Training her Newfoundland for water rescue? Always. Making herself indispensable to everyone around her? That's just survival. But letting people in and expecting them to stay? That's never felt safe.
Ian Sanderson has spent a decade in the spotlight as a pro hockey athlete in the NHL, but after a season that nearly broke him, all he wants is a quiet summer. No cameras, no pressure, no complications. Definitely not the captivating, selfless woman who works at the country club.
What starts as easy flirtation quickly turns into something neither of them expected-real, consuming, and terrifying in its intensity. But when Aria's past resurfaces, she's forced to confront the fear that love isn't meant for people like her. And Ian, still raw from a brutal betrayal, has to decide if she's worth risking his heart all over again.
Set against the sweeping alpine views of Sierra Springs, In the Blue is a story about trust, healing, and finding the kind of love that feels too good to be true-until the moment you realize it's not.
