Things are out of control for the Sinclair boys! With two already in the
NHL, Jace Sinclair is ready to follow in his brothers' huge skates in
the last Bellevue Bullies novel.
Jace Sinclair here, and I'm amazing. There is no other way to describe
me. I am the leading scorer for the Bellevue Bullies, I'm the captain,
and people love me: my family, my teammates, my coach, and the NHL. This
is my last year in college - I already have one foot in the draft.
Hockey keeps me warm even when it's freezing. It's always there when
nothing else is. And it pushes me to be the best I can be. It's my one
and only love.
That is, until I see her against a tree with a guitar. Avery. The last
thing I wanted was to meet anyone. My heart is on the bench because of
what happened with my parents, and I don't want that for myself. I don't
want to be hurt by anyone. I can't give them that power. But my heart is
begging for ice time, and I can't control it around her.
I've always been in the background. No one has ever had time for me, and
that's fine; I've learned to cope. Coming from a family where hockey is
life, the last thing I want is some big, burly hockey player charging at
me. I don't have time for it, but Jace Sinclair isn't one to be deked
around.
I didn't want to meet anyone. I didn't want to end up freezing the puck
with him. It's not what I want. I have demons. I have issues. Living in
the shadows, no one even knew until it was too late. But Jace wants to
know. He wants me. And that scares me the living hell out of me.
We were so worried about what would happen if we fell, but we never
thought what could happen in the process of falling. We never saw it
coming. But it's here, and the repercussions are not pretty. We should
have known that there is no way out of the zone when you are being
hooked by love.
