Cold As Puck by Violet Paige

I was all in.
Down on one-knee. Love you forever. ALL in.
But I destroyed it.
Because that’s what I do.
The worst part…
I’d never see her look at me the same way.
In awe of the hockey god. The stud who made her breathless in bed.
The winner.
I was a champion.
I lost Game Seven and the team put me on a tight leash.
Now I’m back in my home town during the off-season.
Forced to do penance or I’m no longer the Dires’ goalie.
But Sophie’s still there and she’s not buying my acts of atonement.
Why would she?
I broke her heart.
She has no reason to forgive me, but I can’t skate this time.
I remember how it felt when we got under each other’s skin.
So does she.
Hot. Wicked. Hypnotic.
Maybe if I tell her the truth, we can start over.
Or, maybe I’ll lose her all over again.
