Stick Break

After I won a TV singing competition and my ex publicly humiliated me to get ahead, I needed to escape reality.Sure, breaking into an old friend's beachside cottage wasn't my best idea, but what's a girl to do?When the NHL's biggest player-on and off the ice-finds me in his bed, I expect him to kick me out. When he doesn't, a fragile truce is born.Soon enough, we're living in our own fairy tale bubble, talking and sharing everything-just not the truth.As the lazy days of summer stretch on, I begin to believe we might be the only real thing in a world full of lies.Until his past catches up to him.That's when I realize two things. You can't build love on a bed of lies, and in this world, everyone wants something... no matter who they have to burn to get it.
