Mattheo is the hotheaded boy everyone fears, envies or wants. NHL’s best player, he’s the Captain of Vancouvers Piers. With messy curls, brown eyes and the sexiest grin ever, he gets everyone he wants. Except, the girl he wants, he can’t have.

Mattheo was given one rule. Stay away from you, Theodore’s Nott’s girlfriend’s best friend. He couldn’t give two shits about you, until his eyes landed on the brunette firecracker with the prettiest eyes. Now, he’s buying you drinks and just staring as you tried everything to ignore him.

“You can thank me for that beer later.” Mattheo sent you a wink.

“I’d rather stuff my face in that snow pile outside.” You shot back, and he laughed.

“You don’t know who I am, do you?” Mattheo tilted his head, his eyes roaming your face.

“Oh, I know who you are. Don’t worry.”

“Yeah? Who’s that?”

“Mattheo Riddle, Captain of the hockey team.”

“Oh, you’ve done your research on me, hm?”

You snorted, and he grinned. “I’ve got better stuff to do with my time.”

“My apartment’s down the street.” Mattheo ignored your insults.

“How close.”

“We can be there in 8 if you’re game for a piggyback.”

“Terrible idea.” You muttered.

“I beg to differ.”

You let out a sigh and shifted to face him, his brown eyes staring into yours.

“I don’t do one night stands.”

“Who said it’s for one night?” Mattheo shot back.

“Take a hint, and go find someone else. I’m sure this messy hair, pretty green eyes and sexy grin melts a lot of panties, but not mine.”

“So you do think I’m pretty.” Mattheo sent you a boyish grin.
