The Year We Fell Down

The sport she loves is out of reach. The boy she loves wants someone else. What now? She expected to start Harkness College as a varsity ice hockey player. But a serious accident means that Corey Callahan will start school in a wheelchair instead. Across the hall, in the other handicapped-accessible dorm room, lives the too-delicious-to-be real Adam Hartley, another would-be hockey star with his leg broken in two places. Hes way out of Coreys league. Also, hes taken. Nevertheless, an unlikely alliance blooms between Corey and Hartley in the gimp ghetto of McHerrin Hall. Over tequila, perilously balanced dining hall trays, and video games, the two cope with disappointments that nobody else understands. Theyre just friends, of course, until one night when things fall apart. Or fall together. All Corey knows is that shes falling. Hard. But will Hartley set aside his trophy girl to love someone as broken as Corey? If he wont, [...]she will need to find the courage to make a life for herself at Harknessone which does not revolve around the sport she can no longer play, or the brown-eyed boy whos afraid to love her back.
