Hatefully Yours

ANGEL

People said I'd never hit the ice again after my humiliating fall on national television. Two years later, I'm ready to prove them wrong. At least in private . . . when I sneak into the Buffalo Blades arena. Being the coach's daughter has its perks.

Until lead defenseman - and my number one enemy - Jace Knight catches me.

To my surprise, he doesn't laugh when I fall. Instead, he offers to help . . . in exchange for my help winning over the Ice Girl he's been pining after. He won't tell me who, but I think I know. And I hate that she's perfect for him.

JACE

There's no way I'm telling Angel Collins - Coach's daughter and the only Ice Girl immune to my charm - the real reason I'm back in the rink every night.

She'll never buy that I'm doing this out of the goodness of my heart, so pretending I need love advice works just fine for me. And that look on her face every time I'm around the Ice Girls - well, that's just the icing on the cake.
