<b>ASHER</b> <p>Hockey, studying, and school runs. That's my life now. <p>After a tragic accident that took our parents' lives, it's up to me and my big brother to take care of our five younger siblings. <p>In between burning their meals and keeping them from killing each other, I'm supposed to get a college degree. It's hard when I don't have time to breathe let alone study, and if I don't get my grades up, I'm in danger of losing the one thing that makes me happy: my spot on the hockey team. <p>Which is why when the new equipment manager offers to tutor me, I really can't afford to say no. Even though I should. <p>He's Coach's son and way too tempting. <p><b>KOLE</b> <p>As this year's equipment manager for Dad's hockey team, I'm expected to deal with sweaty jock straps and herding hockey players to their rooms at away games. <p>The job is easy, but babysitting Asher Dalton is not supposed to be a part of it. <p>So why, when his brother asks me to keep an eye on him, do I agree? <p>Why, when he's struggling in classes, do I offer to help? <p>And why, when we're studying, do I suggest a reward system that lands us squarely in bed? <p>Asher's trouble, I know he is. But there's something about him that makes it impossible to stay away.
