Blurb:

There are two things in life I know for hockey players are trouble and Caleb Cross is the worst of the bunch. Once upon a time, I fell for a boy at a party. Then he ghosted me and started dating my sister.

Not exactly the start to a great love story. Now it’s a year later, he’s single again, and he’s determined to win me over. Too bad I know better than to fall for his tricks.

But every time I reject him, he only becomes more determined to prove that he’s not just the player I think he is. And I hate to admit it, but with every smile, every joke, every moment alone—he makes it harder and harder to remember why I hated him in the first place. But how can I fall for the one guy I swore I’d never forgive?
