Rewind It Back by Liz Tomforde is an emotional and nostalgic second-chance sports romance and the fifth book in the beloved Windy City series, filled with childhood memories, unresolved heartbreak, and the undeniable pull of first love. Hallie Hart thought moving to Chicago for a prestigious interior design internship would be a fresh start—until she discovers the city also belongs to the boy who once held her heart.
Rio DeLuca has been part of Hallie’s life since they were kids next door—first crush, first love, first heartbreak. Years after their painful split, fate throws them together again when Hallie unknowingly moves back next door and is assigned the career-making project of renovating his house. Turning a bachelor pad into a dream family home would be easier if they could stand being in the same room. But old memories resurface, buried feelings return, and the connection they once shared proves impossible to ignore.
Rio, a professional hockey player who has lost faith in love, begins to realize the person he’s been searching for all along was right beside him years ago. As Hallie fights to prove she’s no longer the girl he once knew, both must decide if love deserves another chance—or if revisiting the past will only reopen old wounds.
Perfect for fans of second-chance romance, childhood friends-to-lovers, hockey romance, emotional slow-burn relationships, and heartfelt contemporary love stories, Rewind It Back delivers longing, growth, and a romance that proves some loves are worth returning to.
