Bella Arket has been in love with love since the day she met Nathaniel Rossy. Every romance novel she reads and all the chick flicks mirror her fantasies for that boy. Ever since she was 5 years old she knew she was destined for her mother's best friend's son. The only thing keeping them apart was the 4-day car ride between them. If Bella had her way she would have moved to Colorado years ago to spend every day with Nathaniel, unfortunately for the last 17 years she's had to live with only seeing him a couple of times a year when their mothers got together. This was finally about to change, Nathaniel and his family were moving to British Columbia! Bella couldn't be more excited to be closer to Nathaniel and his mother whom she had admired for years. 
One problem, Maxwell would obviously be coming with. If Bella had one enemy on Earth it was Maxwell Rossy. Ever since they were kids Max seemed to have it out for Bella. Every moment for potential romance with Nathaniel had been inevitably ruined by obnoxious Maxwell. 
Not this time, Bella finally had a chance to get closer with Nathaniel and there was no way Max could get involved. When the opportunity to spend a  3-day road trip with her childhood crush she jumped at the chance. There was no way Maxwell could ruin this too since he would be on a plane to BC right? Wrong.

I stepped forward and asked, "Where do you want me?" It took me a second to realize what I just said. Shit! I placed a hand on my crimson face and muttered, "Get your head out of the gutter! You know what I meant." He laughed, his voice sounded hoarse and deep even when he's laughing. I peeked at him from the gap I made between my fingers. He was close. So close. He grabbed my hand and took me to the bed. Damn! It did sound sexy. His shirt was loose. Too large for me, and it hung on me like a cloth hung on a hanger. He sat on the bed, criss crossed and pulled me to him. ♡♡♡♡♡ The thing about love is... its unpredictable. Even when you don't want love, it just happens.

NOTE: I REVISED BEFORE YOU GO, SO THERE WILL BE SOME MISINFORMATION IN THIS ONE REGARDING LEON & ELIZA'S RELATIONSHIP. I WILL FIX IT SOON, THOUGH! * I would HIGHLY recommend reading BEFORE YOU GO and THE ONE YOU FIGHT FOR before you read this novel.

And it's been there for nearly fifteen years. He hasn't tried to read it. He can't. He won't. Because that one piece of paper is a large piece of his father -- someone he's never met and never will be able to meet. But as Leo finds himself heading to Whistler, BC to explore where his father was born and who he was before he died in a car accident, he begins to wonder if that bucket list could give him any clues. Aria Madden is the daughter of the now-retired, famous NHL player, Luke Madden. Anyone would consider that a lot to live up to, but Aria is content with her current position. In January, she'll be competing in the Winter Olympics for Canada's women's hockey team. Over the summer, she's going to be training in Whistler, BC with the rest of the team, all while staying at her aunt's house. But even though it seems like she has everything under control, Aria is stuck in a whirlwind of anxiety. While she's happy and excited that her hard work has paid off, she's worried she won't live up to her father's legacy. When Leo and Aria cross paths on a fateful summer day, they're thrown into the chaos of an unforgettable summer adventure -- filled with charming and mysterious people, astounding views, and alpine air. But as the summer continues on and the heat is amped up, undeniable chemistry begins to brew between the two of them. But what happens when summer ends and they have to go their separate ways?
