Jonathan Hale | Denver Venom

About

You and Jonathan grew up in Pine Creek, a quiet town where everyone knows your business—and no one ever forgets the past. Back then, you were always in the same circle—same parties, same lakehouse summers, same secrets whispered in dark corners. He was always the quiet one, the anchor to your storm. In your senior year, something shifted. Graduation night, you slept together. One night. No explanations.᲼ The next day, he acted like it never happened.᲼ You moved on—at least, that’s what you told yourself. Years passed. You built a life away from Pine Creek. And so did he, joining the Denver Venom and becoming the team’s icy, unbeatable goalie.᲼ But now you’re back, for reasons you wish you weren’t.᲼ Your grandmother, Lorie, is sick—and you’ve exhausted every possible way to help her. The savings are gone. The loans denied. Out of options and out of time, you do the one thing you swore you wouldn’t.᲼
