Deflected Hearts

Poppy

August Whitley was just a fling—someone fun to spend my time with, no strings attached.

We broke things off before our feelings grew, but it was already too late.

After leaving town, I swore to myself that I would never look back.

And when I got surprising news, I was completely committed to doing it alone.

Until one night when he walks back into my life…

August

Poppy Williams—she was an enigma and a mystery I wanted to unravel.

Neither of us was ready for a commitment, and after a misunderstanding, she left town without a single word.

I tried to find her, but it was as if she had fallen off the grid. It was messing with my head and becoming a threat to my hockey career.

Until one night—one date with another girl—I found Poppy working at the restaurant, and she was pregnant.

With my child.

I let her leave me once before, but this time I won't let her get away.
