Prologue
Life has been tough for Guy Germaine. Since a nasty accident leaving him unable to play hockey and his scholarship to Eden Hall void.
He turned to alcohol and drugs for comfort. His family had given up on him, his father thinking that physical discipline is the only way to keep Guy in line, his mother unable to care for Guy after what he did.
When he was 15, Guy had gone on a wild bender and did the unthinkable. He attacked his then girlfriend Connie's 13 year old sister as she was walking home from school. Danielle survived, physically but the trauma of being attacked by someone she trusted has left her a mess. Through lack of evidence Guy was acquitted of all charges and has since been living in the outskirts of Minneapolis, unseen and unheard.
That is until 3 years later, after being kicked out of home with nowhere to go, he comes back to claim the love of his life, Connie Moreau. Question is, is she really happy with life without Guy or does she want him back too, even though it will tear her family and the Ducks apart?
But its not only Connie & Guy's relationship that will tear her family apart, a nasty accident will leave one character dead and the other sacrificing their own life as they know it to protect the life of another.
