Covey Crushers · Book 0.5
Cross My Heart
She has three months to rehabilitate his injured thigh. He has three months to convince her she chose the wrong guy years ago.
Available in
The Blurb ♡
There are three places Ally Hart never wants to die.
The library basement. The dining hall on Mystery Meat Monday. And the Covey Crushers men's locker room.
Unfortunately, completing her physical-therapy placement means spending three months inside that locker room with her hands wrapped around Jay Cross's injured thigh.
Jay is the cocky hockey captain Ally has spent years trying to forget. He once approached her with the worst pickup line in history, disappeared before she could give him another chance, and indirectly sent her into a two-year relationship with the wrong man.
Now he remembers her name, knows she's single, and looks far too pleased about both.
Ally intends to keep their sessions completely professional. Jay intends to use every appointment to prove the connection between them never disappeared.
But professional boundaries become difficult to remember when his thighs are beneath her hands, his filthy mouth is within reach of her athletic tape, and every argument leaves them one breath away from kissing.
Ally thinks Jay is an emotionally stunted hockey player who only wants what he can't have.
Jay knows he has wanted her for three years.
This time, he isn't walking away.
Cross My Heart is a steamy enemies-to-lovers hockey romance set in the Covey Crushers world. It can be read as a complete standalone with a dual POV, no cliffhanger, and a happily ever after.
