Over and Back

The game brought him home. Is love enough to make him stay?

Star lacrosse player, Zeke Jacobs, spent years perfecting his game while outrunning his grief. When a trade unexpectedly sends him to the Buffalo Outlaws, he finds himself facing everything he abandoned:

• the reservation where his father's death left an unfillable void,
• the cultural traditions that once defined him, and
• the childhood friend whose love he wasn't brave enough to keep.

Genesee Skye has woven herself deeply into their Haudenosaunee community, finding purpose in preserving traditions and teaching the next generation. She's made peace with Zeke's absence-or so she told herself until he reappeared on her doorstep, still carrying the same magnetic presence that once captured her heart.

As Zeke rediscovers the Creator's Game that connects him to his ancestors, the walls he built begin to crumble, and his connection to Genny flares brighter than a full moon.

But Genny won't risk everything for another heartbreak.

Surrounded by the rhythms and traditions of the game their ancestors played, can they find the courage to face old wounds?

Or will their second chance slip away like seconds on the shot clock?

This childhood, friends to lovers, second-chance contemporary romance is set against the backdrop of professional lacrosse and Indigenous tradition. Featuring medium spice, adult language, and parental loss, this book can be read alone, but even after Zeke and Genny get their HEA, you'll see more of them throughout the Medicine Game series.
