Deflected Hearts

PoppyAugust 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 get surprising news, I’m completely committed to doing it alone.Until one night when he walks back into my life…AugustPoppy Williams. She was an enigma and a mystery that I wanted to unravel.Neither of us were 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 fell 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 find Poppy working at the restaurant and she’s pregnant.With my child.I let her leave me once before, but this time I won’t let her get away.
