Save My Heart by Rhonda James

I’ve spent my entire life protecting something.
The net.
My teammates.
My sister.
I’ve played hockey my entire life. Had many girlfriends. Slept with more women than I care to mention. Been in love twice.

While one woman tried to control me by changing me into someone I no longer recognized, the other loved me not for who I could be, but for who I already was. She was my high school sweetheart but, like a fool, I walked away and let someone else take my place.
Now she’s back and even more beautiful than I remembered. Once upon a time she trusted me with her heart and I broke it. This time, I’ll do whatever it takes to win her back.
I was the first boy she ever kissed. After all these years, I want to be the only man she kisses for the rest of her life.
