The Ultimate Save. Brooklyn Blade, #2

DenisI'm the best goalie in the league. Just ask me. Yes, I have an ego the size of NYC. Maybe that's why I've crashed and burned all my relationships. Love, like a hockey game, is a competition. And once I win, I'm ready for the next game, the next man. Until I meet him. Sterling Forest. The arrogant, obnoxious news anchor who calls hockey players thugs on ice. He tempts me.intrigues me. Makes me want to kiss that scowl off his lips.
I want him to burn for me. Instead Sterling is the one to set my heart on fire. SterlingI know nothing about hockey, and I'm happy to keep it that way. I've apologized for my remarks, but the insufferable Denis Bouvier isn't satisfied. I even do the unthinkable and attend a hockey game. Okay, maybe it is more than brute force. But I can't tell him he's right. Now he's everywhere I go, and I hate that he fascinates me.
I can't escape his larger-than-life presence, and that sexy French accent. The more I push him away, the closer he pulls me in. And I'm afraid to admit I don't want to let him go. We've spent years running away from broken families and broken promises. But when life explodes around us, we're running toward each other. And now that the unthinkable has happened, we need to find trust in each other and what our hearts are saying: love is the one thing that ultimately can save us.
