He's my brother's best friend, the stern hockey captain. The boy who broke my heart.

Five years ago, Denali and I fell into that stupid teenage love that gives romance a bad taste. The end. Good riddance. I thought that was the last I'd ever seen of him.

Until my brother introduces me to his new hockey captain. Denali.

Uptight, intimidating, with muscles for the puck bunnies to fawn over, Denali has a career carved towards the NHL. Everybody knows him as a man to push away distractions and scoff at relationships.

But when we're reintroduced, everything changes.

He cooks me breakfast, writes me love letters, and listens to me in a way I've never experienced before, especially our first time around. From his interviews at hockey games to his team placing bets on our relationship, he's staked a clear claim on me.

Denali's determined to prove he's not the boy from five years ago.

And maybe, just maybe, I'll let him prove me wrong.
