Piper Rayne Mr. Broody

I've loved Henry Hensley since I was seven years old. We've gone from best friends to lovers to nothing. To most people, he's the Chicago Falcons starting right winger and hot single dad, but to me, he's my first boyfriend, my first kiss, my first love. Eight years ago, that all changed when our lives took us in two different directions. Our break-up almost broke me, so I kept my distance until our hometown called me back to where our story began. I promised myself a quick visit to help my family out, and then I'd leave town before he even knew I was back, which should have been easy. He's way too busy being a professional hockey player and raising his son to ever find out. Of course, I'm only in town for a week before I run into him, and one thing is clear from our brief encounter-Henry wants to hash out our past, whereas I'd rather forget it. But my plan really goes up in flames when I take a temporary substitute teaching job, and on day one, his son walks into my classroom. Boom.
