But life unraveled faster than I could hold it together, and now the only thing that matters is protecting my baby… even if I have no idea what comes next.

I’m supposed to protect you after the most horrific time in your life. To do that I made a rule: No falling in love with you. But I effed up because I’m so damn in love with you that I ache for you without end. For seven years, I’ve held you when you cried, looked after you, and made damn sure you got back all the confidence stolen from you. It’s just, the whole time, I’ve been pining after you like a lovesick puppy. Pathetic, I know.

Non ho mai capito perché sembra fare di tutto per umiliarmi e ferirmi. Mi piacerebbe sapere cosa ho fatto per suscitare tanto odio, ma ciò implicherebbe parlargli, e mi rifiuto di farlo. Manca solo un semestre alla laurea, e sono certa che riusciremo ad evitarci e mantenere la pace, ma ovunque vada, me lo ritrovo accanto, come se non riuscissi a togliermelo di dosso.

Everything in my life I control with expert precision—from the hits I land in fights to the tattoos covering my body. Nothing and no one can get the better of me. I'm impermeable, a wall of steel that's as cold as it is opaque. So when my trade to the New York Blades is met with controversy, it's fair to say I'm unbothered.

She doesn't need my money, my help, or my suddenly inconvenient feelings. Too bad.

We’re both determined to keep love at arm’s length. So why has he been featuring in way too many of my fantasies lately? And why did I walk in on him taking care of himself—catching a glimpse of his many piercings in the process—and hear him groan my name?

Hockey is my life, and I need to make this last season count. But when I’m forced to transfer to rival school McKee University for my senior year, I risk pissing off the captain, who happens to be the older brother of Isabelle Callahan: the gorgeous beam of sunshine I messed around with in secret this summer.
