From New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Sawyer Bennett
comes a story in her Arizona Vengeance series...
I was living my dream until one phone call changed everything.
As the second line center for the Arizona Vengeance, my mind has been on
one thing--helping my team bring home a championship. But that all
changed when I found out my dad had cancer and only months to live. In
that moment, nothing mattered more than getting home to North Carolina
to be by his side. That meant asking for the unthinkable--a trade to the
Carolina Cold Fury.
Now I'm home and when I'm not on the ice with my new team, I'm helping
care for my dad. And in the midst of my grief, I find comfort from the
one person I never expected.
Calliope Ramirez stole my heart at a very young age. The beautiful,
smart, headstrong girl next door, she was my first... everything. She
has never forgiven me for leaving her, believing that I chose hockey
over a future together. What she doesn't understand is that every
decision I made was for her, and I've never given up hope that one day
we'd be together again.
Watching my dad slip away is a harsh reminder of how short life can be,
and having Calliope by my side makes me realize I was a damn fool
before. That changes starting right now. Calliope Ramirez is mine and
I'm not going to waste the second chance that I've been given.
