The Heart Chaser

<p><strong style=color: rgba(15 17 17 1)>Notorious ladies' man and hockey hotshot Luca Pandatelli broke his own rules when he tangled up with me. </strong></p><p><br></p><p><span style=color: rgba(15 17 17 1)>Not only did we spend an entire weekend in bed together but he confided in me sharing painful truths about his past. With a kiss good-bye and a promise to call something sparked between us. Something that broke through my walls.</span></p><p><br></p><p><span style=color: rgba(15 17 17 1)>Except he didn't call. And I re-enforced my walls with steel and barbed wire.</span></p><p><br></p><p><span style=color: rgba(15 17 17 1)>Now I've accepted a job with the Boston Hawks franchise making it inevitable that I see the last man I want to cross paths with. I'm prepared to dismiss him and pretend like our weekend together never happened.</span></p><p><br></p><p><span style=color: rgba(15 17 17 1)>But the regret in Luca's eyes and the apology in his voice catches me off-guard. The harder I push him away the harder he pulls me in.</span></p><p><br></p><p><span style=color: rgba(15 17 17 1)>Until the one thing I can't accept can't forgive comes to light.</span></p><p><br></p><p><strong style=color: rgba(15 17 17 1)>And I'm left wondering is Luca only interested in the chase? Or is he really playing for keeps?</strong></p>
