She kissed the enemy captain to take back her power after the betrayal. Now the man who once ignored her will not let another soul near her. ~~~~~ Lena Brooks gave two years of her life to her hockey boyfriend, standing beside him through every injury, every loss, and every disappointment. Then she catches him in bed with her cousin. Humiliated and heartbroken, Lena agrees to attend a campus party with her friends, only to be dared to kiss the one man her ex hates most: Roman Vale, the dangerously intense captain of the rival hockey team. She expects one reckless kiss. Instead, Roman makes her feel something she has never felt before. Soon, the coldest man on campus is walking her to class, protecting her from unwanted attention, and making it clear that he wants her for himself. But Roman's past returns when his beautiful, wealthy ex, Victoria Wellington, comes back determined to reclaim him. Worse, Victoria is the same girl who made Lena's high school years miserable. Victoria knows exactly which insecurities to exploit, and she refuses to accept that Roman has chosen someone else. Now Lena must decide whether she will run from the woman who once made her feel worthless or finally stand up for herself. Because Roman has already made his choice. And this time, Lena intends to make hers.
