If my parents had it their way, I'd be off at college-enjoying the sorority girl lifestyle. Instead, I'm drowning in secrets, every one of them involving my brother's best friend.
Hayes Wilder is a walking red flag, warning me to stay away. And yet, all I can think about are his calloused hands on my skin. He's a total player, on and off the ice, but right now, the only playing he wants to do is with me.
Sneaking around isn't easy, especially when you live in a small town where nothing stays hidden. But if we think my brother is our biggest threat, we're about to learn that there are much darker secrets than stolen kisses when no one's watching.
Nothing should be able to shatter the promises we made, but when everything comes crashing down around us, loyalties are put to the test. And let's just say there's a fine line between tenacious and toxic.
I wish someone would've told me that the prettiest of poisons are also the most lethal.
