Clipped by Love by Toni Aleo
Contemporary Romance
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.

Bellevue
Bullies #1
Boarded by Love by Toni
Aleo
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Published: September 8th,
2014
Jude Sinclair here, hockey player for the Bellevue Bullies
and lover of all ladies. Hockey’s in my blood, and not to sound full of myself,
but I’m good at it…really good. The draft is within my reach—it’s mine to
take—but that’s not the only reason people know my name. They know me because
of my way with women. They know the score, and I aim to please. I just tend to
stay away from repeat performances. In other words, I don’t do relationships
beyond my family and friends. I’m happy with life. However, I should warn you
that my story and how I see it playing out is about to change due to a certain
redhead on campus.
She’s beautiful. Stunning. Breathtaking.
She’s my game changer.
He’s trouble from the moment I see him. I don’t know what
I’m thinking, but from the moment I meet his gaze, I’m his. It’s a scary
feeling.
I’ve never trusted anyone outside my aunt and uncle—and even
that took months. I didn’t have it easy growing up. My mom was usually strung
out, and she didn’t give me a second thought. Drugs and the men who paid her
were more important to her. It was horrible, but I’m stronger today. Because of
my past, security is what I need most. Money assures me that I can take care of
myself today, tomorrow, and next month. I don’t want to ever be hungry or go
without again, so I work hard for every penny.
Oh, by the way, I’m Claire Anderson. I’m a hard-studying
sophomore at the University of Bellevue, dancer for the school dance team, and
a burlesque dancer at a club, but that’s my secret.
You may think you know how our story ends, but you have no
clue. It’s not easy falling in love… or living happily ever after. At first it
may seem so, but when is anything worth having ever won without a fight?
Especially when you’re boarded by love.
