When he hated me life was hell, but now he wants me, I don’t know if I’ll survive.

Hawthorne Prep hockey reigned on and off the ice. And I watched from afar knowing none of them even knew I existed, especially not Mason Shaw. 

Moving into his family’s gardener’s cottage changed that. So did finding him bruised and bleeding after a brutal game where he needed my help. 

But it wasn’t a one time thing. Those dark nights lit me up brighter than any star we watched on the grass while our fingers brushed. Every touch of my lips, kindling hot look or warmth of his arms felt like a dream.

And then school started and the Mason I knew was gone, replaced with a hockey god. Heartless. Brutal. Cruel. 

Mason

After a summer where I bared my soul, showed Lilah my wounds and let her see parts of me no one had ever seen before. She saw me at my weakest and then betrayed me. 

So I vowed to ruin her life like she’d tried to ruin mine. I wanted her out of my school, out of my mind and most of all out of my heart.

Then with a vicious punch, I discover the truth. And there’s only one choice. Play hard for her forgiveness, even my future goes up in flames. 

I’ll do anything, but let her go.
