Others: PositiveThe annoyingly handsome hockey captain glaring at me needs my help. He won't admit that, of course. But with his teammate's gone for the summer and him fresh off a season-ending injury, someone has to keep him in check and it's not the nurses he keeps running off. I'm having one last summer of fun before I move away to start my first grown-up job, and I seem to be the only woman on the planet immune to his charm. Sure, l've noticed his chiseled jaw and sculpted muscles (Did I mention he's annoyingly handsome?), but I have too much self-preservation to fall for a grumpy hockey star who can have any woman he wants and doesn't do serious relationships. Except once he lets me help him, I see past his broody exterior and jerk comments and I realize something terrible. I want him. Now I just need to convince him to throw out all his rules for a fling with his teammate's little sister.
