Not Over You — Samantha Wayland

Media darling Hunter Michaelson left home, and his best friend, six years ago and never looked back. He's super comfortable on the ice and in front of the cameras, but his private life is a disaster. He's tired of living a lie and even he feels bad for the women he dates because, as hard as he tries, he feels nothing. Zach Bloom let himself fall in love, once, with his high school bestie, who ghosted him and broke his heart. He's spent the years since focused on his studies, traveling as much as possible, and living happily out and proud. He's focused on his future and not repeating old mistakes. When a chance encounter brings Zack and Hunter face-to-face, their old attraction instantly sparks. They're totally different men now, yet so deliciously familiar. Hunter knows he screwed up in the past and he's willing to do whatever it takes to earn Zach's trust back. But Zach's days of blindly believing Hunter are long gone---been there, done that, got the scars to prove it.Can Hunter prove he's worth trusting and earn back the love he foolishly threw away? Or will Zach choose to leave him in the past? Not Over You is a 45,000 word MM romance featuring hockey players, a dedicated student, meddling friends, a long-overdue apology, and a second chance at love. It takes place in the same world as all of Sam's novels but can be read as a standalone.
