[Now free to read!] Scott Wilson isn't used to being corrected, and he definitely didn't expect to get his biggest dose of criticism by his coach's daughter - Elle Monroe. ***** When Scott Wilson is drafted to try out for the Marlies hockey team, it's easily the best day of his life. He's cocky and for good reason. He's spent his entire life being told that he's a hockey prodigy and he knows that he's on the path to his destiny. Then Elle Monroe shows up, and throws off his entire plan. Elle - the daughter of his coach - is loud, rude, confident, and gets a special kick out of knocking Scott down a peg or two. Scott doesn't want to accept the help she's offering, but eventually he does, and it turns into a lot more than he was expecting. Scott isn't used to a lot of things, but there's one especially that he's never prepared for: a beautiful, loud girl stealing his jersey every day before their practices.

"She used to play, Guy. And from what I can tell, she was good!" "How it that possible, Char? She can hardly walk." "I don't know. But I'll be damned if I don't find out." -- The Folsom family was, without a doubt, a hockey family. From the minute she could walk, Aspen could skate. She was out on the ice with her older brothers as soon as they could hold sticks. In no time, they were good. Really good. Not only that, but they loved what they did. There wasn't a tighter group of siblings in Minnesota. Everything was peaches and cream until they decided to fool around after practice one day. A nasty spill left Aspen clutching her ankle in excruciating pain. As if the initial injury wasn't bad enough, a slip up during rehab pushed her further into permanent damage. Her left foot was completely useless. From then on, Aspen Folsom had two things : a permanent limp, and a deathly fear of the ice. [D3 | Charlie Conway]
