Hawke

Hawke Therrien plays defense for the Carolina Cold Fury, and he is known as the team's biggest partier. He fought his way up from the minor leagues to become a star, and he sees no reason to apologize for enjoying the drinking and good times that come with it. The one thing he still misses from his old life is a pierced, tattooed free spirit who ended things years ago and never told him why.

Seven years later, she walks back into his life. Vale Campbell barely resembles the girl he knew, but one look in her eyes hits him as hard as ever. At twenty, Vale was wild about Hawke, and her reckless behavior and heavy drinking had begun to frighten her. She knew she could only get sober and change her life if she walked away from him, and leaving was the hardest thing she had ever done.

Now she faces something harder. Her feelings for Hawke never went away, and seeing him again proves it. Whether they have a future depends on whether he can forgive the way she left him without an answer.

Hawke is part of Sawyer Bennett's Carolina Cold Fury hockey romance series, and the books can be read in any order.
