Clipped by Love!
Clipped by Love

Bellevue Bullies #2
Release date: April 27th, 2015
Things are heating up for the Sinclair boys! With one already in the NHL, Jayden Sinclair is hoping to be next!
This has been the toughest year of my life. I watched my brother go into
the draft without me, my mom got divorced, and the weight of my
family’s issues is heavy on my shoulders. I feel like it’s my job to fix
everything while working my butt off in school and trying to make my
game better. I have to go into the draft. It will give my family the
support they need, and it will prove that I’m good enough. But to get
there, I have to show I can be the best captain for the Bellevue
Bullies. The spot is mine—no one can take it. First though, Jude is
making me go on a brother’s weekend. Innocent enough, I guess…until I
see her. She’s the biggest competitor I’ve ever faced. Not only for my
spot but also my heart. It’s hard to ignore someone like Baylor Moore.
***
I don’t lose. I can’t. My dad has bred me to be the best in anything I
do. I am driven, I am smart, and I am going to be the first woman in the
National Hockey League. No two ways about it. I’ve worked too hard.
I’ve been through too much not to have what I want. I know I can do it. I
will make my dad proud, and no one will stand in the way of that. That
is, until I let him in. He scares me. He makes me feel. And he could
very well be the one person who can make me want more than just to win.
We both have the same goal. Victory. But how do you compete against the
person you want to win? It’s not easy. Love isn’t something you can
control. It isn’t like a puck that can be handled by a stick. No, it has
a mind of its own and does what it wants.
Neither of us saw it coming, and we really don’t know if there is a way to score, especially when you’re being Clipped by Love.
