Except Xavier King. Cold, rude and reckless, he is the perfect example of the kind of people Athena wants nothing to do with. But destiny has other plans... Xavier King lives an extravagant life. Captain of the ice hockey team, impossibly rich with looks that could kill, he has everything a man would love to have, which includes girls running after him and worshipping his very existence. His life seems to be perfect, with his large group of friends, and a loving family. He wants nothing to do with Athena Yondoris, or does he? All it takes is one plea for tutoring, and a few months of fake dating for the line between love and hate to blur.

When the truth about River's secret, or not so secret life reveals itself, will it scare Cove enough to run for the hills? Will their happy relationship be enough to make her stay?
