Two former hockey teammates reunite at summer camp — and finally face the feelings they've buried for years.

Description

Elle ne voulait pas d’un héros pour la vie. Il ne voulait pas d’une histoire sans lendemain. Bella est manager de l’équipe masculine de hockey sur glace de Harkness. Pour la jeune étudiante au contact facile, adepte de l’amour libre et des corps à corps musclés, le sexe est comme une seconde langue, qu’elle pratique couramment alors que d’autres bredouillent encore. Ce que l’on peut raconter dans son dos ne la trouble pas vraiment. Elle ne comprend donc pas pourquoi son sublime voisin a tant de mal à rester ami avec elle après la nuit torride qu’ils ont passée ensemble. Elle sait qu’elle ne devrait pas s’en soucier, mais quelque chose dans son regard couleur expresso la fait douter. Rafe s’en veut terriblement d’avoir perdu sa virginité sous l’effet de l’alcool dans une histoire sans lendemain. Son éducation catholique stricte lui a toujours appris à aimer son prochain – mais pas avec une bouteille de vin et une boîte de préservatifs. Les murs ancestraux de Harkness ont été témoins de son grand moment de gêne. Mais quand Bella est victime de malchance et subit les coups bas d’une association d’étudiants, Rafe est là pour l’aider à recoller les morceaux. Bella ne veut pas de l’aide de Rafe. Elle a même décidé de tirer un trait sur les hommes. Dommage que l’étincelle indéniable qui s’est allumée entre eux ne se laisse pas éteindre aussi facilement. « L’Heure de vérité est un cadeau pour toutes les filles et les femmes. C’est magnifique. » — Tammara Webber, auteur best-seller de Easy et Sweet, classée au New York Times « Palpitant et délicieusement sexy, L’Heure de vérité vous fera pleurer et frémir. Sarina Bowen maîtrise l’art de vous faire tourner les pages et de vous donner envie d’en lire plus. » — Elle Kennedy, auteur best-seller classée au USA Today
