Alex After a catastrophic prom night, I swore I'd never try to tell Brad I loved him again. But we have a month left of college until I leave for the NHL, and Brad still hasn't been drafted. Hockey and Brad are the only things I've ever wanted, but I've already deferred a year just to keep playing with him at Redhill U. I can't put the NHL, or my feelings, off any longer. And the freshman team captain has plans, ones I can't help being dragged into. Like pretending to date him so that Brad will finally notice me. But it goes even better and worse than I could have predicted, and I'm playing a game I don't think I can win. Not when Brad's possessive streak emerges, and the intense focus he has on the ice is suddenly turned on me. Brad I've been his first everything. We took our first steps together, played our first game together. I was his first hug, his first kiss, and the first one to go down on him. Because he's my friend, and I can't let him go to the NHL without popping those cherries. He got drafted and I didn't, and I don't know what I'm going to do without my best friend. I have to keep training every day to get my ticket. I have to go to big leagues with him, or life just won't be the same. Because that's what friends do for each other. But then he tells me he's going on a date... With the team captain...And that he's been a virgin this whole time... I'm not having it. I've been Alex's first for everything - it's only natural I'd be his first puck, right?

Lance I was born to lie. The second they stuck me in front of a camera when I was a kid, I knew I had to be perfect. It doesn't matter that my Dad beats me when he's a NHL star. It's not important that my dying mom cares more about me winning a game than being with her in her last months. It's pointless wanting anything when I don't have a choice. And then I meet him, Tommy, the only person crazy enough to catch my attention. It's all teasing and flirting until I find out he's obsessed with my Dad like everything else. For the first time in my life, I want something. I want him. And there's nothing I won't do to get him. Tommy What do you do when the son of your idol kisses you? You beat his ass. What do you do when that guy tells you he loves you? You run. What do you do when that guy turns up as the captain of your hockey team with a smile that says he's going to ruin your life? I've wanted to be like Ryan Austin since I first knew what hockey was. Everything I do is to get to the same place as him, to be a star like him. If I'm ever getting out of this town, I need to make it to the NHL. With my test scores and my dead-end job at my Dad's restaurant, I'm going nowhere. The Redhill Kites are my way out. Ryan made it to the top with nothing, and I can do it too. Until his shitty son stumbles into my life and fucks everything up. He got under my skin, and I can't get him out. We're nearly at the end of the college season, and it's driving me nuts that he's dating another player when he's always told me I'm the one for him. I've never trusted him, but, the longer I watch him, the more I can see something's seriously wrong with Lance Austin, and no one else seems to have noticed but me. Special Preorder $2. 99
