Hockey Holiday

You learn quick, when you become a professional hockey player, to be guarded with the media. I’ve worked hard to cover up the mistakes of my youth.

He’s the one person I should never be anywhere near in this way. The more time we spend together, the harder it gets to ignore the tension between us. His kindness makes me question ...

It started innocently enough with a harmless inquiry about a cute guy at a coffee shop. The goal was to get back into the romance game. The search turned into a social media frenzy. #DesperatelySeekingDane was not available. Talk about a buzzkill.

It was an instant yes because one of the three bachelors was a major movie star and my lifelong crush.
