Ghosted by the Goalie

To-Do List: 

1) Lose my V-card before my twenty-fourth birthday. 

2) Get over my off-limits crush on my bestie, hockey player Cade Hale.

3) Stop making to-do lists!

Jules

Cade and I made a promise not to cross any lines that would hurt our friendship, so there's no way I can tell him I've caught feelings. Especially since he only dates smokeshow hotties—not average, curvy girls like me. 

So when Cade's teammate asks me out, I say yes. He's not looking for anything serious, making him the perfect guy to help me cross item number one off of my to-do list...and to distract me from my crush on Cade. 

Cade

Thanks to a stupid pact I made years ago, I've been moving through puck bunnies at warp speed because I can't have the woman I really want—my best friend, Jules. 

When she forces me to face a hard truth I wasn't ready for, I end up ghosting her for two months. Dumbest decision ever, since even two months without Jules is way too long. But when I drive to her place in the middle of the night to apologize and spill my feelings, what do I find? Her—wearing my teammate's jersey. Yeah, there's no way I'm letting anyone steal away the only girl I've ever cared about.

This pact ends now.
