A job I wanted to use to prove myself. I did not, however, anticipate running into him. Not just running into, but actually having to live with him. Jamie Patterson left me at eighteen and vanished without a trace. I survived it, I rebuilt, I moved on...or so I convinced myself I had. Now he's back. He's cocky, infuriating, and broken. He's the new hockey coach, I'm the new director and we're stuck living in the same house. To make matters worse, we're being forced to plan an event together to bring donations, prospective students, and visibility to our departments. I hate him. At least, I did.\u003cp\u003eThis semester was supposed to be about my future, not the boy who broke my heart.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eJAMIE PATTERSON\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI didn't plan on becoming a college hockey coach. Like, ever. But here I am, at Ellington University. How did I end up here? I screwed up my knee and my career with the Connecticut Storm. The plan is simple: rehab, recover, get back where I belong. I need to focus. The complication? Ellie Monroe. I never expected to see her again, let alone be forced to live and work with her for an entire semester. She looks at me like I'm the villain, and maybe I am. But I didn't walk away because I stopped loving her. I walked away because I had big pro hockey dreams, and I couldn't afford distractions. I know I should keep my distance. I should stay focused. But I've never been good at playing it safe, and I'm not sure I want to.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause now that I've seen her again, I don't think I could walk away again.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Rae Quinn\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798991333467\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Rae Quinn\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/25\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 324\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.83lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.73d","brand":"Rae Quinn","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":49001683910911,"sku":"9798991333467","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/hate-to-need-you-rae-quinn-9798991333467","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
