Playing Hurt

Release Date: March 8, 2011

Summary:

Star basketball player Chelsea "Nitro" Keyes had the promise of a full ride to college—and everyone's admiration back home. Then she took a horrible fall during senior year. Now a metal plate holds her together and she feels like a stranger in her own family.

That summer, Chelsea's dad hires Clint, a nineteen-year-old ex-hockey player and "boot camp" trainer, to work with her at a northern Minnesota lake resort. As they grow close, Chelsea finds that Clint's haunted by his own tragedy. Will their romance end up hurting them all over again—or finally heal their heartbreak?

Why:

1. Amazon pairs it up with Fall for Anything by Courtney Summers. I adore Courtney Summers.

2. The summary... um, does that NOT sound amazing?

3. The cover. While the feet covers do get old after awhile, I am still hopelessly drawn to them. And this one has such beautiful soft colors. I adore it.
