Preorder What About Us by Kristen Proby

This indie bookstore special edition features a hand-signed copy, foiled cover, and sprayed edges.

Book Summary

Xander Hendrix was the only person who ever made her feel seen.

Years ago, he protected her from bullies and showed her kindness when no one else would. Now he’s a hockey superstar returning to their hometown of Silver Springs with an injury—and he doesn’t remember her at all.

She never forgot him.

After years of following his career from afar, she’s suddenly hired as Xander’s physical therapist, putting them together every day as she helps him recover and return to the ice.

But their time together quickly becomes more than rehab.

As her already fragile life begins to fall apart, Xander becomes the person she can lean on again. The attraction between them grows, the lines between friendship and something more begin to blur, and Xander seems determined to take care of her in every way he can.

But when he’s healed and it’s time for him to return to Denver, they’ll have to decide whether what they’ve built is strong enough to survive goodbye.
