Comeback Season (St. A Knights Series Book 1) – Adkins, Sarah

He told me to dress “comfy and warm.” He sent me a photo of himself in gray sweatpants and a black St. A’s hoodie, saying he knew I would try to overdress if I didn’t know what he was wearing. He was right. Even though my outfit didn’t feel like a first date outfit, I did curl my hair, something that I rarely do since it takes so long, and put on some light makeup.

I was putting in my little gold hoops when a knock sounded on the door. Fortunately, Summer’s nowhere to be found. I open the door and am greeted by a bouquet of flowers. Pale pink dahlias, forget-me-nots, bundles of baby’s breath, and artfully placed stems of lavender all wrapped in brown paper. It’s the most beautiful—and undoubtedly expensive—bouquet of flowers I’ve ever been given.

“Colt!” I take the bouquet from him and hug it to my chest, smiling ear to ear. “These are gorgeous!” He smiles at me warmly. “I’m glad you like them.” I hurry to my room, grabbing a vase I keep on the shelf in my closet for rare occasions—usually, my mother sends me flowers when I win a tournament or something.

Filling it with water, I place the flowers gently inside, promising myself I’ll remember to trim the stems when I get home. When I’m done, I face Colt, who’s leaning against the counter in the kitchen, right where I was when we first met. “Where are we going?” I ask, genuinely curious about what he’s planned. He gives me a stern tsk. “No spoilers, sweetheart.

Come on.” He offers me a hand, interlacing our fingers when I accept. Opening the passenger side door of his truck for me, he plants a quick kiss on my lips before telling me not to look in the backseat. Of course, telling me that makes me want to turn around and look, but I resist. He pulls up to a local pizza shop, walking in and picking up an order he evidently placed beforehand.

“So, we aren’t going out to eat. And we can’t take pizza in anywhere, so no movies or ice skating or bowling.” I’m truly stumped. “Patience is a virtue, Stell.” A short drive later, he’s pulling onto a dirt road that leads back into a line of trees.

Epilogue Thank You! 1kitap1.com/en Author’s Note Comeback Season is the first book in the St. A Knights series, following the story of Colt and Stella.

While this book is not considered a dark romance, there are some scenes and topics that may be upsetting, so reader discretion is advised. If you have no triggers, I suggest going in blind, skipping reading the following trigger warning paragraph, as it may spoil a large part of the story. Stay safe. Stay healthy.

1kitap1.com/en 1 Colt September There’s no fucking way we’re going to lose this game. Four minutes left. Sweat drips down the side of my face. The blood roaring in my ears pounds so loudly I can’t hear my own thoughts. Adrenaline and muscle memory fuel my body as the time on the clock ticks down. Drew passes me the puck, and I break away from the pack.

My shot is flawless, a five-hole shot sailing right between the goalie’s knees before he can block it. The crowd roars, fans losing their ever-loving minds that I’ve just tied the game: 2-2. It’s pre-season, the first home game, and we’re fighting for our lives on the ice.
