Stick Fight

The night before my wedding, I walked into my Vegas hotel suite and found my fiancé in bed with my best friend.

Yeah. I know. Worlds biggest cliché.

But maybe I shouldve seen it coming. Hes a runway god—the son of a fashion mogul. And me? Im just the people-pleasing, insecure girl from the wrong side of town, hiding behind a designer dress and a dream.

I ran. Out of the suite. Out of my own life. And straight into the arms of Roman Marinelli—NHL superstar, my high school friend, and the Bucks biggest player... on and off the ice.

Roman dried my tears and reminded me what it feels like to be seen. While I lost everything I thought I wanted—my fiancé, my dream fashion internship, my picture-perfect future—with Roman, I found something I never expected.

Because with him, I dont have to pretend. Not even a little.

But just when I start to believe in second chances, Roman does something that breaks me all over again.

And this time, I never saw it coming.
