Declan Sterling had it all. As the star center of his city's hockey team, he was on top of the world. He had career he loved surrounded by people he loved, and he was coming off a championship win. He had everything he could want. Until an accident took it all away. His life shatters, splinters into fragments he no longer recognizes, and he's left to figure out how the pieces fit. Stripped down to a body that won't cooperate and a future he doesn't recognize, Declan retreats to his family's ranch, determined to survive the only way he knows how, by shutting the world out. But Daniela isn't someone he can shut out. She's completely uninterested in treating him like something broken. Where everyone else sees what he's lost, Daniela only sees him, and she doesn't hesitate to take what she wants. What starts as a distraction quickly turns into something neither of them can control. She doesn't just make him feel alive; she makes him want a life he's not sure he can have, and that could be the ruin of both of them. ------------------------- Started: 03/27/2026 Published: Completed:

"Logan, come on, I'm going to be late!" I shout from the living room of the hockey house, already halfway to the door with my bag over one shoulder. "I'm coming!" he yells back from upstairs. I laugh. "You sure about that?" There's a pause, then the sound of footsteps thundering down the stairs. Logan appears, still pulling a hoodie over his head, and shoots me a look. "Fuck off, Ava." I grin at him. Same answer he's been giving me since we were six years old. We've been inseparable ever since. I'm the loud one-wild, flirty, sarcastic, the girl who never knows when to shut up. He's the quieter one, the responsible one, the one who keeps me from doing something stupid... most of the time. Somehow we still fit. Like we were built to balance each other out. When I first walked into this house and met the rest of the team, I nearly swallowed my tongue. Every single one of them was tall, ridiculous, and unfairly hot. But one of them stood out more than the rest. Dean. Same brand of chaos as me-flirty, sharp-tongued, always looking for trouble. The second our eyes met, something clicked. Something dangerous. Logan noticed. Of course he did. He's been warning me to stay away from his teammates since the day I started hanging around, and he's especially insistent about Dean. "He's not good for you," Logan keeps saying. The problem is, my heart-and every other part of me-doesn't seem to care. So now I'm doing the one thing I swore I wouldn't: starting something secret with Dean. Something messy and addictive and completely off-limits. No one can know. Especially not Logan. I just don't know if our friendship can survive it. A/N I do not own any of the original characters, just Ava. Also the story is not really following the series so I hope you enjoy.
