Money, power, prestige...washout.

There is no Plan B for me. I gambled it all on hockey. It's all I ever wanted, but as the years pass without a callup to the NHL, I have to face the fact that I may have made a losing bet.

I'm the only failed Coulter, and the financial repercussions are coming.

My best friend's timely breakup with her jerk of a boyfriend leaves her up rent creek with no roommate at just the right time, but it also forces me to confront my other weakness.

Sasha is the only one who still believes in me, so how can I ruin our friendship by acting on my lifelong crush? But the second I have a chance, how can I not? Forget any fight I've ever seen on the ice—this is the most dangerous game I've ever played.

I can't lose my best friend, but I will unless I can show her she's always been my goal.
