Breakaway
Alyssa's life is a series of bad decisions and bad luck, leaving her a single mom juggling two jobs. Her only bright spot is her son, Liam. When his absent father bails on a dream hockey event, Alyssa calls out of work for the first time ever. At the Ball Arena, surrounded by NHL stars and their families, she meets Diane, a friendly hockey wife, and unexpectedly finds herself sharing space with Liam's idol, Justin Myers, a star defenseman with secrets of his own. In the midst of the electric atmosphere, Alyssa and Liam might just find their own breakaway moment.
Bad Luck. That's me. Bad luck.
I've always been a bit of a mess. One bad decision after another led me to where I am today. Pregnant during senior year. Married by nineteen. Cheated on at twenty-two. Divorced by twenty-three. Now, I'm a single, working mom of one for the past two and a half years. It's how I ended up working a dead-end job as a paralegal by day and hustling part-time in a restaurant whenever my son isn't with me.
But my son? He's the one thing I've done right. Liam is everything to me. If I could go back and change the last ten years, I'd change almost everything—except him.
