Some sparks don’t fade… they detonate.
Kinsley
I didn’t come to Washington, D.C. to babysit a nepo baby—or run into the one guy I never quite forgot.
But here I am. Covering a high-stakes hockey tournament celebrating America’s 250th birthday with a self-entitled reporter with a press badge… and trying very hard not to think about Jayce Brady.
Olympic gold medalist. Rookie NHL superstar. And my brother’s former teammate—the same guy who got slammed into a locker for looking at me. What my brother doesn’t know? The sunset walk. The kiss. Or how Jayce vanished from my life like it meant nothing. Like I was forgettable.
If Jayce thinks I’m just another face in the crowd—he’s about to remember exactly who I am.
Jayce
Forget about her? Not a chance.
Kinsley Jameson was the one I wasn’t supposed to want—my former captain’s little sister, completely off-limits—and the one I couldn’t stay away from.
One stroll on the beach. One kiss. That was all it took. And yeah… I walked away. Not because I wanted to—but because my father walked back into my life. What I thought was a second chance turned into his own agenda to control my career.
Now Kinsley's the one interviewing me, acting like I'm just another player with another story to tell. That’s fine. I’ll let her pretend. But I see it. Every look. Every almost-smile. Every second she lingers just a little too long.
I never stopped wanting her. And this time? I’m not letting her go.
