The Play

What I learned after last year?s distractions cost my hockey team our entire season? No more screwing up. No more screwing, period. As the new team captain, I need a new philosophy: hockey and school now, women later. Which means that I, Hunter Davenport, am officially going celibate?no matter how hard that makes things. But there?s nothing in the rulebook that says I can?t be friends with a woman. And I won?t lie?my new classmate Demi Davis is one cool chick. Her smart mouth is hot as hell, and so is the rest of her, but the fact that she?s got a boyfriend eliminates the temptation to touch her. Except three months into our friendship, Demi is single and looking for a rebound. And she?s making a play for me. Avoiding her is impossible. We?re paired up on a yearlong school project, but I?m confident I can resist her. We?d never work, anyway. Our backgrounds are too different, our goals aren?t aligned, and her parents hate my guts. Hooking up is a very bad idea. Now I just have to convince my body?and my heart.
