Everyone loves the golden boy, Ryan Hayes, the pride of Haven Hills.The campus worships him. Scouts fight over him. Girls line outside his dorm, hoping he'll remember their names by sophomore year. I loved him long before he was anything but a boy with a beat-up pair of skates.For three years, I stood behind Haven Hills' brightest hockey star, editing his scholarship essays, pulling all-nighters to keep his grades up, and believing we were building a future together. Then, on the biggest night of his life, he looked me in the eyes and told me I was nothing more than “dead-weight” holding him back.______________________One broken heart later, Paige Brooks is back at Haven Hill, broke, behind on credits, and done with anything that skates.The only job that offers enough to keep her afloat is caring for the school's hockey team captain–Mason Carter. A career-ending injury had turned the former first-round NHL draft pick into the angriest man on campus. He’s driven away every caregiver the university has sent him. But her? She lasts five minutes before telling him exactly where he can shove his attitude.Mason Carter isn't the arrogant jerk everyone thinks he is. He's just a stubborn idiot with a good heart... and an annoyingly attractive smile.Which is a problem.Because Paige had sworn she'd never fall for another hockey player.Her superstar ex is back on campus, but a season on the bench has a funny way of knocking golden boys off their pedestals. Apparently it comes with a side of regret.Ryan wants Paige's help polishing his image on paper, like he didn't leave her heart in pieces and she hadn't spent two years trying to forget him.Too bad there's another hockey player ready to throw fists. This player is willing to lose hockey, even his draft positions, just to keep his woman.
