I posted a summary in my other story, Love the Way You Lie, but I decided to tweak it a bit as I thought more about what I wanted to do with this plot line. Here is the full summary! I'm gonna go ahead and start writing chapter one right away : ) Enjoy!
Disclaimer: All characters in this story ARE based off of real people aside from my OC Camyrn. They DO NOT reflect any actual events/opinions/personalities of the actual hockey players in real life (hints the fact it's a fictional story…but some people don't always get that lol).
Camyrn Payne has made her way into the NHL. After getting kicked off of her college team for (literally) being too good, she fiercely pursued getting into the National Hockey League. The Washington Capitals picked her up about a quarter of the way into their season and Elizabeth soon found her niche in the world. She became fast friends with the younger players on the team: John Carlson, Marcus Johansson, and Mathieu Perreault. The four friends soon become inseparable and form a unique clique. However, the playoffs didn't go as planned and the Capitals were blanked by the Tampa Bay Lightning.
Sad and disheartened, the four best friends decide to take a couple weeks off and away from DC to clear their heads before their off-season really begins. Their destination? Tampa Bay, Florida. The friends hit the beach and goof off, having a great time, but soon long to be on the ice for a bit, even just for fun. They run into a certain handsome, young Tampa Bay Lightning player who invites them to the rink for a fun skate for the afternoon. It isn't long after that that Camyrn finds herself rather attracted to this certain hockey player from the team that just blanked her own.
Tension mounts as the two grow closer together and the four best friends end up extending their stay in Tampa. Although they do not approve of Camryn's choice, MoJo and Perreault are happy that she's happy…Carlson on the other hand is anything BUT happy. As he begins to unravel exactly why it is that this hockey player fawning over Camyrn bothers him so much, he begins to wonder if he's lost something that would have meant more to him than his own life. Never really caring that much for anyone but himself, this new realization throws Carlson for a loop and he struggles to tell Camryn how he feels all amidst watching the Tampa player woo her. Is it too late for Carlson? Has Camryn found her true love? Will this romance split up the friendship that the four have forged so tightly?
Romance, adventure, jealousy and conquest all in one : )
Title of the story is based on the song "We Owned the Night" by Lady Antebellum
