Synopsis
John Logan has always been seen as charming, confident, and impossible to resist. As one of Briar University’s hockey stars, he is used to attention, parties, and girls who know exactly who he is. But behind the easy smile, Logan is dealing with doubts about his future and feelings he does not know how to handle.
Grace Ivers is a freshman trying to find her place at Briar. She is smart, honest, and still figuring out who she wants to be. When Logan unexpectedly walks into her life, she never imagines that one night could change the way she sees him — or herself.
But Logan makes a mistake.
And Grace is not the kind of girl who forgets easily.
When he realizes what he lost, Logan knows he has to do more than apologize. He has to prove that he is serious, that Grace matters, and that he is willing to fight for a second chance.
Between hockey, college life, friendship, and the fear of getting hurt, The Mistake is a story about growing up, taking responsibility, and learning that love sometimes begins with admitting you were wrong.
