Except for the fact she's a virgin ... or at least she was until she had sex with her university rivals hockey captain. After a quick (devastatingly quick) night with the man and being called a lousy lay, Ivy made a promise to herself that she wouldn't do it again ... sex that is.

He'll teach her everything she wants to know, and show her that sex can be fun, you just have to know how to do it right. And Ivy should refuse, after all he's the Ice Hockey captain, her brother's best friend and her best friend's brother - but what's the fun in that. Ivy knows she should say no, but she won't. And she won't fall in love, she can't. ••• Completed • First Draft - half edited. Watty2025 winner #1 in #Romance #1 in #Brotherbestfriend #2 in #bestfriendsbrother #2 in #icehockey

Ashley Knox: "annoying," insufferable indie star, forces her way into WWE and refuses to play by the rules. Most see a problem. CM Punk sees potential.

She's the scarred veteran with a punk-rock heart. He's the man she swore she'd never fall for again. For nearly 15 years McKenzie has survived everything the industry could throw at her. Championship reigns, betrayals, heartbreaks, and the slow, bruising reality of being a woman in a man's world. She's learned to fight with her fists, her wit, and her silence. But when CM Punk returns to WWE-newly divorced, older, and as defiant as ever-old wounds reopen. He was her "what if," her most dangerous mistake, and the only man who ever saw through her armor. Their chemistry still burns hot, but so do the grudges, the history, and the scars left behind. As the tensions rise and the spotlight gets harsher McKenzie finds herself fighting battles she never thought she'd have to face again-against rivals, against the system, and against her own guarded heart. In the ring, she's untouchable. Outside it... she might be falling apart. In a world where trust is a gamble and love is a liability, the question isn't whether McKenzie will survive- It's whether she'll let herself win.

Was it all just great acting? Or was there something deeper brewing beneath the surface-something even they couldn't control?
