Moments of impact.
We all have them. Mine started with a breakup and ended in bitterness. I was my own worst enemy, choosing booze and women to numb my pain and soothe my ego. My nickname became Jude, Patron Saint of Lost Causes. And I lived up to it daily.
Hockey was my only solace and I continued to excel on the ice. Things didn’t change when I was called to the pros. It just provided me with more money and more opportunity to make bad choices. Until one day a scandal bought me a one-way ticket to the Hawks in a team trade. Chicago. Middle America. I was happy about the trade, but not about the conditions once I arrived. According to the team, I needed to clean up my image.
That’s where she comes in. Emerson Evans. An acquaintance from the past. She’s there to make sure I stay on the straight and narrow, storming into my life and changing things without my permission. We have nothing in common. She’s the girl next door with artistic flare and a sharp tongue. I’m a hockey god on skates with a stubborn streak.
The more she catches my eye, the more I realize how wrong we are for each other. I’ll just hurt her. That’s what I do. But I was never one to follow the rules. And I’m starting to understand …
Sometimes the wrong choices get us to the right place.
I’m Sam Anderson and this is my story.
