I waited until my 18th birthday to tell my best friend, Nick, that I loved him.
That I wanted him to be my first. Even though he was twelve years older than me, I knew he was my person. He'd always been my person. But when I showed up at his apartment, he was with… Sheila. Ugh. I thought we were meant to be. He thought I was a kid with a crush. I did the only thing I could do. I left for school and a new life. Until that life fell apart.
Now, six years later, I'm back in Calico Cove living with my parents, broke, jobless, and trying my best to ignore Nick.
Only Nick's life was just turned upside down when he found out he has two half-brothers, who also happen to be hockey legends, and he needs me more than ever. I'm not going to let myself fall for him again. I'm not going to let him break my heart. I'm not going to… yeah, I think I probably am.
