Shea Adler is the team captain of the Assassins. He was tired of living outside of the rink. He was tired of the girls, wasting money, drinking, and everything. When he meets Elli at the photo shoot, he can’t stop looking at her. She’s feisty, witty, shy, and simply gorgeous. He had to have her.
Elli doesn’t believe Shea, but Shea knows they were meant to be together. He needed her in his life, but Elli doesn’t understand what he sees in her. Now, Shea must convince Elli that he loves her and that they need each other.
