Captain of the Harbor: A Team Leader, a Longtime Crush, and the Choice to Put Himself First (Frostline Harbour Hockey Book 1) (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798246900826)

A Frostline Harbor Hockey Romance
by Amelia West

He's the man everyone relies on.
She's the woman who left so she wouldn't disappear.

Logan Pierce has spent his entire life being the steady one.
As captain of the Frosthawks, he's the player who absorbs pressure, fixes problems, and keeps everything from falling apart. On the ice. In the locker room. In Frostline Harbor itself.

Being needed is what he's good at.
Wanting something for himself is what he's never learned how to do.

Especially when it comes to Elara Vance.

Elara was the girl he loved quietly, carefully, and from a distance. The one who left town to build a life that didn't require shrinking herself for anyone. Now she's back in Frostline Harbor on a professional assignment that could change the future of the harbor-and her own.

The town hasn't changed.
Logan hasn't changed enough.
And Elara refuses to become smaller just to stay.

As old feelings resurface and expectations press in from all sides, Logan is forced to face a truth he's avoided for years: leadership doesn't have to mean self-erasure, and love doesn't have to come last.

But choosing Elara doesn't mean asking her to sacrifice.
And choosing himself might mean risking everything he's built his identity around.

CAPTAIN OF THE HARBOR is a slow-burn, emotionally mature hockey romance about long-held longing, quiet devotion, and the courage it takes to ask for more-without knowing the answer.

No grand speeches.
No dramatic ultimatums.
Just two people learning how to stand side by side without losing themselves.

Perfect for readers who love:

• Steady, dependable hockey heroes

• Longtime crushes and second-chance timing

• Small towns that feel real, not idealized

• Tender, earned intimacy

• Romance where choosing yourself doesn't mean losing the people you love

Leadership doesn't mean disappearing.
Love doesn't have to come last.
