Shut Out — Cathryn Fox

He's as tough as nails on the ice, but off the rink, he's a potato farmer from Prince Edward Island who knows exactly what he wants.What he wants is me. A rich girl from the Hamptons who's practically engaged. When I find out my boyfriend is going to propose when I go home for the holidays, I do the only thing I can do. Run the other way. That's right, I'm a coward. Thanks to an injury the night of our college's holiday production, I have the perfect excuse to stay in hiding. Ryan drives me to his farm on the island to care for me, but the tension between us is explosive. Still, we keep our distance until my boyfriend gives me an ultimatum that ends our relationship.Soon enough, Ryan and I are finding ways to warm our bodies during the cold winter nights, but when I start getting conflicting messages from his family and friends, I am no longer sure what Ryan wants.When I get the answer wrong, and tragically hurt the guy I've fallen for, I'm not sure we can ever find our way back to happily ever after.
