HIL
When I pulled into Snow Tip Falls there was nothing about it that made me want to stay. It’s a beautiful small town, but if you stop running, your problems have a way of catching up with you.
However, when tragedy strikes, it’s hard not to help. And when the person needing help is a chiseled football player with brooding eyes, dimples, and an endless desire to protect me, I’m reminded of the other purpose of my trip, to have a one night stand that finally rids me of my gay v-card.
I know why I haven’t lost it yet. Guys confuse me. Cali isn’t confusing, mostly because he doesn’t say much. Maybe he’ll be the one. And if I get his rippling, jock body wrapped around me, it will totally be worth the heart break that will follow when he finds out who I am and what I’ve done.
CALI
You know how some people are rays of sunshine that light up a room? That’s Hil. Man, it’s annoying. Annoying or not, it’s not like I can refuse his offer of help if I want to stay in university, or on the football team.
It’s not that he’s hard to look at. That guy makes me think dirty thoughts.
And, it's not like he isn’t the sweetest, kindest guy I’ve ever met…
Wait, am I falling for the stranger who showed up out of nowhere wanting to fix my life?
There’s a reason I like to keep to myself. And as hot as Hil is, I’m not sure my heart can take being hurt again.

Grumpy Boss Trouble
Chapter 1
Hil
“I think I just got someone killed,” I said with the blood draining from my face.
“Hil, is that you?” Dillon’s concern for my well-being was something I had grown to love him for.
“It’s me. What have I done?”
“Where have you been? I’ve been worried sick! Where are you?”
“I’m in a hospital,” I said, looking around at the other concerned people in the waiting room.
“No, I mean, what city are you in? Are you okay?”
“I’m fine. I lent someone my car, and they were in an accident. My phone got an alert saying it had been rear-ended and an ambulance had been called. Dillon, I think someone tried to run me off the side of a cliff.”
“Hil, you have to tell me where you are.”
“I don’t know where I am. It’s a small town in Tennessee. But I’m fine. I just needed to hear your voice. You can’t tell anyone you’ve heard from me.”
“Remy has been asking me about you. He said that your father is worried.”
“You definitely can’t tell him. Promise me you won’t.”
“Hil…”
“Promise me!”
“Okay. I promise. But you can’t just disappear like that again.”
“I won’t. But I have to do this. I need to prove to them that I can make it on my own.”
“Didn’t you just say someone tried to run you off the side of a cliff?”
