Honey Pot (The Hornets Nest) by Aubrey Taylor

Clementine Matthews used to be nothing more than a shadow.

Seventeen years spent being eclipsed by her best friend. A girl without a name, a hobby or a life of her own unless he was holding her hand. Clementine was heartbroken when his family was moved across the country leaving her truly alone for the first time in her entire life. She vowed to step out of that shadow and start chasing her dreams as a sports journalist.

Seven years of uninterrupted growth later a folder slides across her desk with an opportunity that could shape her career for the better.

There’s just one terrifying catch; the boy she vowed to forget has his picture clipped inside.

Cael Cody had finally found his footing.

Reeling from the aftermath of the accident, party boy Cael is ready to put his best foot forward and change his life. He’s determined to stay true and commit to his recovery while showing his dad and teammates he can change for good. Juggling his shoulder injury, his addiction, and his grief, he knows that it won’t be easy.

His first challenge is to stop living in the past; he needs to leave his ghosts behind.

But that’s easier said than done when that past comes knocking on the door of the Nest.
