Some loves find us once. The greatest ones find us again.
Shannon Emerald has spent his life learning about love. Growing up on the South Side of Chicago, he learned that love meant hard work, sacrifice, faith, friendship, and showing up for the people who mattered. But at six years old, Shannon discovered another kind of love when he met Marina Ciccone and looked into her unforgettable green eyes.
Their childhood promise was simple: someday, they would be together. But life had other plans.
Shannon’s journey takes him from the streets of Chicago to the ice as a professional hockey player, through triumph and heartbreak, devastating loss, and relationships that challenge everything he thought he knew about love. And then there is Marina.
Some people enter our lives for a season. Others become part of who we are.
Love Walks In follows a friendship that begins between children and grows through hockey seasons, changing dreams, unforgettable music, first love, heartbreak, loss, and the complicated journey into adulthood.
At its heart, this is more than a hockey love story. It is about childhood sweethearts who grow together, grow apart, and discover that time and distance do not always erase the connections that matter most.
Before playlists lived in our pockets, songs carried memories. Before every moment was photographed, some of the best ones existed only in the stories we told afterward. Love Walks In takes readers into the music, hockey, friendships, and neighborhoods of growing up on Chicago’s South Side in the 1980s. It is a romance for readers who lived the decade, and a chance to go back for those who missed it.
