Finn Daley took the world by storm two years ago when he was
drafted by the NHL. The young, handsome, high-scoring player
quickly became a fan favorite. He had everything going for him: fame,
fortune, a promising career, and his pick of women. But when he
made an abrupt exit from the NHL last spring, everything changed
and he’s been in hiding ever since.
Casey Scott plans to find out why.
After interning for free all summer at the top television station in
the Twin Cities, Casey lands an on-air gig. Trouble is, the new role
is Sports Girl—which means reporting from local bars and tailgating
parties to create excitement for the hometown heroes. All while
wearing tiny team jerseys that are so tight they leave little to the
imagination.
But she has a plan. Uncover the biggest sports mystery of the decade,
and she’ll be on her way. Question is, how far will she go to get the
story?

Chapter One
Casey
I was a bloody mess, sitting on Finn effing Daley’s kitchen counter. My skin was
torn and mangled, and there were rivers of crimson running down my thigh and
puddling in my socks. It was an unusually warm fall day, so I was wearing my
favorite blue running shorts and a t-shirt—an outfit that allowed for such an
injury, and one that now felt exceedingly indecent. Especially when he was so
close that I could feel his breath marking my skin.
If I was producing this clusterfuck of a story for TV news, I would definitely
use this scene as the Teaser. That’s what I wanted to do with my life, work as a
broadcast journalist. I had learned that starting a story with blood and the hint of
sex was pure magic. It didn’t get much better for the viewing audience.
Remembering back, however, I guess there was more than just a hint of sex that
day—so there’d have to be some major editing done before it ever hit the air.
Consider this the unabridged version.
