Getting the Goalie

Being the child of a hockey legend is great and all, until you figure out that people either respect you for it or think you've only gotten as far as you have because of the name on your jersey. I may be Cam Hardy's daughter, but I've worked my butt off for every minute I've earned on the ice.

When I land at NE University, I'm eager for a fresh start and a new season of hockey to begin. But when a ghost from my past-one I never wanted in my present-comes out of nowhere, I learn quickly that even the biggest campus can become small, fast. Especially when said ghost has made it his mission to pursue me. My dad forbids it.

But unfortunately for us both, guys like Hendrix Hunt don't back down from a challenge. No, just the opposite, actually.

Hendrix is the bad boy on campus with a mile-long list of debatable choices under his belt and an abnormally large chip on his shoulder. And when he lets me see his softer side, I fall for him-heart first. But just when I think I can trust him, he flips the script, reminding me that I can't.

So when he comes back again-this time, with a grand gesture-

I know I should guard my heart like I guard my goal. But the reality is, unlike facing my opponents on the ice...

I never stood a chance against Hendrix Hunt.
