New Book: On The Line by Amanda Chaperon. Our very own Munising native Amanda Chaperon is back with her second book, a sequel to For The Boys. If you’re into steamy romance, sports romance, or hockey, then this is the book for you! Two years ago, professional hockey player Mitch Frambough and headhunter Lexie Monroe met on a late October night and sparks flew. They fell hard for each other, and everyone thought they were endgame. But now they’re not together. In fact, they don’t even live in the same state. Call it karma or the gods or fate, but something has drawn these two back together. And now it’s time for them to choose: either they put their hearts on the line again, or they walk away for good this time. After all, how often does love get a second chance? (Amanda Chaperon)
