She meets a hockey player. She falls in love. He doesn't know what he wants. Distance separates the two. Will it push them together?

Never in a million years did I think I would cross paths with him again. Michael Woods. The boy who broke my heart. The boy who picked hockey over me. The boy who left me behind. After giving three years of my life to him, it was all over after his college graduation. He went his way and I went mine. But I never imagined landing a job at his agency when I moved to Boston four years later, let alone as his assistant. A job that's meant for me to service him, do as he asks, and give him all smiles. So, I play the part. I play the nice, kind, sweet assistant in public and ignore him like my life depends on it in private. The thought of getting close to him again terrifies me because I know. I know that once I let him again, I'll never be able to let him out. And if I do, it'll be at the cost of my heart, and this time he'll leave it broken beyond repair. I used to think he was forever mine. But hockey changed everything. What would he do now if he had to make that choice? Me? Or hockey? Or both? . . .

Tampa Bay Lightning player Ryot James has everything a guy could ever ask for, we'll except for finding love, but that dream got crushed when his parents decided to get a divorce when he was a kid. When his childhood best friend becomes the physical therapist for his team he takes the opportunity to reconnect with his old friend, but can rekindling their friendship and crossing a decade long line make him break his rule about falling in love? * The water sloshes around us as he grabs me to straddle him. He runs his hands up and down my thighs then settles them on my hips. He leans forward and places kisses up my neck while he plays with the strings of my bikini bottoms. I grab ahold of his face, pulling it back from my neck. "Once we do this there's no going back Ry" I said looking into his green eyes. Inappropriate language Sex scenes Mature content

Dating a NHLer is tough. You have to trust them 1000% no matter what. You also have to go along for the ride and know what you're getting yourself into. You have to plan to make a family. Plan ahead so you can start in the offseason. But when stuff doesn't go as planned and right, then you have doubts. He can have a model, anyone in the world. and you ask the same question over and over.... Do you still love me?
