Wyncote Wolves, #6

Splintered Ice

Olivia

Transferring to Wyncote halfway through freshman year wasn’t part of the plan.
But I’ve learned how to keep smiling, regardless of how off-course life gets.

Until I run into him… Sterling Barrett. My best friend’s older brother.

A broody, brutally hot hockey player who barely noticed me in high school, but now he’s colder than ever.

And determined to keep me at arm’s length.

Burying any lingering feelings I may have once had for him, I decide to let go of the fantasy of him and try dating someone new.

Except now Sterling’s paying attention.

And he’s determined to sabotage anything–or anyone–that comes between us.

Sterling

Hockey has always been the only thing I care about.
No distractions. No drama. No feelings.

So when my little sister’s best friend transfers to Wyncote? I tell myself I don’t care.
Even when she shows up with that same blinding smile and eyes that always linger a little too long on mine.
Even when she’s suddenly everywhere I go.

I try to stay away.
But when my sister begs me to keep an eye on Olivia, I cave—reluctantly.

Except what starts as a favor turns into something else.
Something dangerous.

She’s supposed to be off-limits. She’s my sister’s best friend. She’s too close. Too… everything.
So why does it feel like she’s the only thing I want?
