Kane

Are you ready for Kane Bellan's story? I have a problem. Potential problem? I'm not really sure. Here's the deal. There's this girl- isn't that how it always starts? -and her name is Mollie. I like her. I mean really like her. I hope that doesn't make me seem less manly than my professional hockey player persona implies. But here's the issue-she's my best friend. The one person I can count on for everything, who's been there with me for all the moments, big and small. When Mollie shows up at my door, travel weary and scared following an incident with an ex, my instinct to protect her goes into overdrive. It's then that I know she's more than just my best friend and the skates are swept out from under me when I find out she feels the same way. Our transition from friends to lovers to potentially something more is seamless, the Arizona Vengeance is back on the ice looking for a repeat championship, and my life has never been better. Just when I think I've got it all figured out, the realities of us both having careers which keep us on the road put our blossoming relationship on ice. It feels like the game just went into overtime and I'm on the verge of either the biggest win or most disappointing loss of my life. And losing is never an option.
