Waiting on Wednesday (12)

"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted at Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.

Playing Hurt, by Holly Schindler

Star basketball player Chelsea "Nitro" Keyes had a full ride to college—and everyone's admiration back home. Then she took a horrible fall during senior year. Now a metal plate holds her together and she feels like a stranger in her own family.

That summer, Chelsea's dad hires Clint, a nineteen-year-old ex-hockey player and "boot camp" trainer, to work with her at a northern Minnesota lake resort. As they grow close, Chelsea finds that Clint's haunted by his own tragedy. Will their romance end up hurting them all over again—or finally heal their heartbreak?

Released date: March 8, 2011

As we all know, I absolutely loved Schindler's debut novel, A Blue So Dark. I'm ridiculously excited to see what else she has in store for us. I'm one of many stops on the Playing Hurt blog tour, so keep a look out for that sometime mid-February!

What are you waiting for this week?
