It Hurts So Good: The Short Story Collection
Christian Evans is a runaway—but not in the way people expect. He’s running from a life that isn’t his, from a family that dictates his every move, and from the one thing he’s ever truly loved: hockey.
Now, with nothing to lose, he’s risking it all for a full-ride scholarship at North Lake View University. One shot. One summer. If he fails, his dream dies forever.
The problem? Caleb Weston.
Cocky. Charismatic. The star center of the team.
The worst part? He’s annoyingly good at everything—including getting under Christian’s skin.
It starts with a rivalry.
Then, a challenge.
Then… Christian realizes Caleb might be the only person who sees through his walls.
A hockey summer camp.
Two rivals pushed together.
One challenge that changes everything.
Christian wasn’t supposed to fall for the one guy who could ruin him.
But some games? They’re impossible to resist.
