I hated hockey players.

While the Rush had cleaned up their act and were no long wreaking havoc in my town, Joel—captain and a talented forward on the team—was wreaking havoc on my life.

He'd made it his mission to push my buttons on a regular basis.

The man was equal parts infuriating and distracting … And gorgeous.

The worst part? I hadn't expected that I would like him.

That I would want him. That I would become desperate for him to want me back.
