They say you can’t outrun the past—but maybe you can fake it. After everything that happened in Serendee, the survivors swore they were done letting anyone close. Wittmore was supposed to be a clean start—new school, new team, new rules. But trauma has a way of catching up, no matter how fast you move. On the ice, there’s order. Noise. Purpose. Off it? There’s guilt. Flashbacks. Temptation. The quiet understanding that second chances are never as simple as they seem. Wounds are still raw. Old habits—rituals—creep back in. And maybe it’s easier to follow The Way than to ever let it go. The Way We Break is book one in the angsty, reverse harem, Wittmore Hockey X Cult of Serendee crossover series.
