Atlas pretended to be a normal high school boy who loved hockey and girls. Half of that was true; he loved hockey but not girls, which was a problem seeing as he lived in Meadow Valley, Pennsylvania, located on the bible belt. It was hard enough having sisters that were praised for everything they did while Atlas struggled to keep his stern and religious father's love by playing sports. He couldn't imagine what he would have to do to keep himself off the streets if the truth came out that he was interested in men. So Atlas made sure that it didn't come out. Atlas pretended to be what he wasn't in order to survive, to keep what he desperately wished to have, family, friends and a career in the NHL. Sadly, life was not easy for anyone and especially not Atlas, who found it exceedingly difficult to distance himself from the one that drove his senses wild the most; Dakota Rowley and it seemed Dakota had some difficulty avoiding Atlas as well. The question wasn't what could possibly go wrong but what couldn't go wrong.

One of the books that initially made me want to become a writer. Atlas and Dakota have been on my mind forever, and I am so happy I finally got to read it again.
