Pucking Bad News

Steven Ashford has never had to try.

Star hockey player of Frostvielle High.
Cocky, magnetic, and dangerously good at getting what he wants-especially when it comes to girls.
They chase. He chooses. It's always been that simple.

Until Haylie.

She doesn't look at him twice.
Doesn't laugh at his charm.
Doesn't fall into line like everyone else.

And it pisses him off.
Because for the first time in his life, Steven Ashford is the one being ignored.

Haylie knows better than to fall for someone like him.

Strong on the outside, soft where it matters, she's learned how to guard her heart-especially after the one night she wishes she could forget.
But when Steven's GPA starts plummeting and Haylie is forced to help him fix it, distance becomes inevitable.

Late nights turn into conversations.
Arguments turn into revelations.
And tension turns into something neither of them can ignore.

He wants her attention.
She refuses to give it.
He doesn't remember breaking her heart.
She never forgot.

But, catching feelings for the same guy, again, would mean giving him the power to destroy you and trusting they won't use it. And in this case, it's much worse as the guy happens to be her brother's best friend. Completely off- limits and a 'Bad News'.

"What are we, Hayls?"
"Whatever you want me to be."
