I clawed my way back from rock bottom to reclaim my spot playing for the Knights. After nearly losing everything because of a woman, I swore off relationships -- focusing only on hockey and the occasional no-strings hookup.

This second chance at my career is everything. I've spent years rebuilding what I destroyed in a few moments of weakness. Risking it all again isn't an option.

Then Victoria slams back into my life, and suddenly the walls I've built start crumbling. The feelings I buried are resurfacing with a vengeance.

She nearly took everything from me once -- but one taste and I'm lost all over again.

Taking a chance on her after everything we went through would be playing with fire.

But I'm starting to think some burns might be worth the pain.
