And yeah, there’s no denying he’s hot as sin. He rocks a sexy vibe, especially with his jet-black hair, icy blue eyes, and über-muscular body.
He really is an Adonis.
Too bad I’m not looking for love, considering Mr. Hottie and I will be in such close proximity.
But I absolutely am not.
No way!
I’ve sworn off men for a good long time. See, I got burned badly a few months ago when I found out the guy I thought was my “forever” cheated on me.
That bastard, Liam.
We dated for two years while at college. I even thought at one point we might get married. But all those hopes and dreams came crashing down when I walked in on him in bed with the chick who’d been our waitress the night before.
A waitress at ouranniversarydinner!
Can you believe it?
I barely could. I ran out in shock, only to have him follow me to my car with a freaking blanket wrapped around him as he tried to explain.
Explain?
Yeah, right.
I only needed to ask him one question at that point: Had it ever happened before?
The guilty look on his face told me all I needed to know.
That was it—we were done.
I walked away for good.
I don’t even know when Liam had time to set up his hookup. It must’ve been at the restaurant when I ran to the ladies’ room for all of about five minutes, maybe less.
Unbelievable.
I suspected there were others. That’s why I made a beeline that same week to have myself tested for every imaginable disease.
Turns out I’m fine. Physically, that is, not emotionally. In that regard, I’m still recovering.
I know Addison just wants to see me happy, but I’m not setting myself up for that kind of pain and agony anytime soon.
Plus, everyone knows hockey players can be real womanizers.
Also, Arden just turned thirty. I know this because Addison and Hayden had a big surprise party for him at their house a couple of weeks ago. Anyway, if he hasn’t already, the dude probably never plans to settle down.
In fact, I bet he plays the field like crazy.
He’s good-looking, rich, and a professional hockey player.
Women throw themselves at his feet, I’m sure.
Well, not this woman.
I’m not about to become one of his conquests.
I’ll hang out with him, sure. It’s better than chilling alone. But nothing isevergoing to happen with Arden Troy.
