Arilyn has always dreamed of escaping Green Hill, leaving behind the pain of her father's abuse and the memories that haunt her. When an unexpected transfer to Riverside University gives her the chance to start over, she seizes it-only to come face-to-face with Xander Hale, her former best friend who vanished from her life without explanation. Xander is no longer the boy she remembers. Now a star hockey player with a sharp edge and a colder heart, he keeps everyone at arm's length. But Arilyn's arrival stirs something in him he thought he'd buried long ago. As the two are forced to confront their shared history, tensions rise, and buried emotions thaw, revealing truths neither expected.

Chapter fourXanderI walked into the classroom with my usual face which basically said "I don't give a fuck", not bothering to look at anyone as I made my way to the back. The air in here was stale— the same as it always was in these classrooms filled with kids pretending to care about schoolwork.But then, of course, my eyes landed on the one person I never thought I'd see again.Arilyn Thorne.I didn't expect to see her here. Not after all this time. Not after the way I left—just disappeared, no explanation, no goodbye. I had my reasons, but seeing her again, after all these years, was like a punch to the gut.Her eyes were locked on me for just a second before she quickly looked away, but it didn't matter. That moment was enough to send a wave of emotions I wasn't ready to deal with crashing through me. I saw the way her posture stiffened, the way she shifted in her seat, like she was trying to pretend I wasn't still the same person who had walked out on her without a second thoug

Chapter ThreeArilynWe were here.Riverside was slightly bigger than Green-Hill. The first thing I noticed when we stepped off the bus was the large initials 'R.U' engraved at the top of the building, framed by an intricate crest of a soaring eagle and crossed laurel branches. The university's emblem seemed almost regal, imposing in a way that reminded me this was a new beginning.The car ride has been around one hour, but it felt longer. I had waited outside my house for Logan, hoping he'd come say goodbye. He never showed. I kept checking my phone, expecting at least a message, but nothing came. Eventually, I left without saying goodbye.My dad wasn't home when I went to pack either. I shot him a quick text, telling him I was leaving, but like Logan, I didn't hear back. As I got in Olivia's car, it felt like I was leaving more than just Green-Hill behind.Olivia and I were buzzing with excitement as we entered Riverside, our eyes wide with wonder. The hallways were bustling with st

Chapter TwoXanderCoach had been killing our asses on the rink, making us work twice as hard and I didn't mind it one bit. I knew we could use it, especially with the home games coming up. Hockey was my life, and I had every intention of going pro. Thankfully, I was already halfway there with the scouts of NHL keeping a close eyes on me. Ego aside, I was really good. So fucking good. And these fuckers knew it."That's my man," Wade said, holding up his hand for a high five. "You killed it out there.""Don't I always?" I winked, slapping his hand.He shook his head, smirking. "Come on, coach wants a word."Didn't he always after a game?I followed Wade, heading off the ice and into the locker room, where the rest of the team was already gathering. The air was thick with the smell of sweat and that sharp, familiar scent of the rink. Guys were pulling off helmets, tossing them aside, and chugging water like they'd been stranded in the desert. The room buzzed with post-practice energy,

This book is dedicated to those who like them cold, with a side of sarcasm and flirty comments.Chapter OneArilynI didn't want to go back to campus after last night but I did not want to stay home either. Not after last night. My back was sore and I could barely stand. I knew I had to suck it up. Everywhere else was better than staying at home.I didn't get much sleep last night. It was hard to fall asleep in an abusive household. My father was an abusive drunk, and my mother was dead. To be honest, part of me was glad she died. She was suffering at the hands of my father. Every single day. But the other part of me was heartbroken because well, she was my mother and she was the only parent who had ever been here for me whenever I needed her.
