The sentence: fifty hours of community service in a small Vermont library, mopping floors for a woman who looks at him like something she scraped off her shoe.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLauren Gray has a reason. Three years ago, Luca ended her little brother's hockey career with one cruel sentence on live TV, and she has never forgotten a word of it. She runs the library her mother left her, counts every book and every grudge, and has no intention of forgiving the most hated man in hockey.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut penance isn't a press release. It's a wet floor and a five-year-old who wants to know if he can skate faster than a dog. It's red sauce at midnight and book club under string lights her mother hung years ago. It's learning to stay.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe longer Luca stays, the more he wants the one thing he has no right to ask her for.

Please read with care if you're affected by: the death of both parents in a drunk-driving accident and on-page grief; public humiliation and online bullying; an emotionally controlling, estranged parent; mild profanity; and brief depictions of heavy drinking. Intimacy is fade-to-black, with no on-page sexual content.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jason Wrench\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 197173909X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781971739090\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Jason Wrench\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/31\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 446\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.31lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.99d","brand":"Jason Wrench","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48874701062399,"sku":"9781971739090","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/pucks-and-prose-jason-wrench-9781971739090","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
