Cross Check

Ella
I have three goals this semester: get off academic probation, fix my relationship with my BFF Skylar, and take some responsibility for my life. All of which are hard enough without hot, snobby hockey player Ben Buckingham around to distract me. I can't stand Ben, and I know the feeling is mutual. But he's best friends with Skylar's boyfriend, so he's always around-taunting and tempting me in ways that really rile me up.

As the star forward of the Bayard College hockey team, I have goals too, like playing well enough to land a spot on an NHL roster. I'm perfectly in control on the ice, so why can't I keep my cool around Ella? Her wild behavior rubs me in all the wrong ways-and a few of the right ones. But as we skate around each other, I learn there's more to Ella than her bad reputation. And when the line between love and hate starts to blur, I can't resist crossing over and sweeping her off her feet.
