Free Falling by Jill Shavlis

Sometimes the hardest fall is letting your guard down.

Free Falling follows Caleb Colburn, a retired hockey player trying to prove himself in his family’s construction business, and Emma Sumner, the architect liaison—and his former college rival—who’s now forced to work alongside him. With their past full of resentment and unfinished tension, being in close quarters quickly reignites more than just old frustrations.

Jill Shalvis delivers a warm, character-driven romance filled with sharp banter, emotional depth, and slow-building chemistry. With its mix of workplace tension, personal healing, and undeniable attraction, this story explores forgiveness, growth, and what happens when the line between love and hate starts to blur.

Perfect for readers who love:
• enemies-to-lovers romance
• workplace / forced proximity
• small-town emotional stories
• sports-adjacent romance
• heartfelt, character-driven love stories
