Janica

Befriending a professional hockey player, especially one like Ace, is not something I ever expected to happen to me. We hit it off right away, and though I might have not-so-friendly thoughts about him sometimes, our friendship is strictly platonic. I have a boyfriend, and besides, Ace is way out of my league.

Stuck in a broken relationship, I question whether I deserve anything better. And when I catch my cheating boyfriend in the act, my life collapses. Not only have I lost my boyfriend, I’ve lost my home.

When Ace finds out I need somewhere to stay, he offers to open his home to me. But can I handle living in the same house with the gorgeous man who has haunted my thoughts since the day we met?

But then I find out she has a boyfriend.When I learn Janica needs help, I have to ask myself an important question that just might change my future forever.
