Strong and Wild (Lakes Hockey, #2)

by Sloane St. James

Loving an addict is a fucking nightmare. It’s a burden impossible to let go of. Your heart is tethered to a sinking ship.

When Mom and Dad died, I became numb, but when I’m with her, I feel something. I don’t want to lose that. She gives me a rush the way hockey does. Like she’s someone I could devote myself to.

Our love is a fire, Freya. It’s strong and wild, and knows no bounds.” I laugh, my eyes swimming with tears, not caring there’s an audience behind us. “I promise to fuel it, be careful with it, and never let it burn out. You love me in the rarest of ways, and I want to love you for the rest of my life.”
