Welp. It's official. The entire hockey team knows I'm a virgin. And who do I have to thank for telling them about that little tidbit? Theodore Taylor, aka my brother's best friend and the pain in my butt since third grade. Then again, I'm kind of sick of this thing. My virginity, that is. It's probably time I get rid of it, anyway. Right?

Macklin and I are just friends. And even that's a stretch. He saw me at my most vulnerable, and now the guy's popping up left and right. Pretty sure it's because my friend is trying to set me up with him, but what do I know? It's not like I have much experience with guys. And he's. .. well, Macklin's older, much more experienced, and bluntly put? Way out of my league. He also has a heart of gold and the personality of a golden retriever, which makes me pricklier than ever... moreMacklin and I are just friends. And even that's a stretch.

Clearly, the man doesn't know me as well as he thinks he does. less

Sometimes I wonder what my hockey career is worth. Blood, sweat, and tears, sure. But losing Ash? I can't. I shouldn't ask this of her. To ignore the rumors. To let go of the scandal. To accept the spotlight. To give up her dreams so I can chase mine. Balancing it all, though? Well, that's a different sort of torture. I have no idea how long I can hold on without my past catching up to us. And when it does? Well, Ash deserves better than a screw up like me.

Henry Buchanan is cold. Calculating. And rich. He's also the owner of the new Lion's NHL team, and my boss. Oh, and did I mention he's a grumpy sonofabitch who's girlfriend is cheating on him? Not that I'm gonna say anything. It's none of my business anyway. Besides, we aren't friends. And we couldn't be more different if we tried. He was born with a golden spoon in his mouth. I was born scraping by for every meal. Still. I do need this job... moreHenry Buchanan is cold. Calculating. And rich. He's also the owner of the new Lion's NHL team, and my boss.
