fight for it. And being both hot-headed and Irish, he's going to fight
hard and dirty.I'm not moving out. Full Stop.
But neither is he. So we agree on some simple rules.We'll play roommates for a while. What could possibly go wrong?
Living together with an Irish Hothead will surely cause a major storm.
Let's hope bracing that storm won't turn into a hurricane.

Hockey guys are off limits—and yet, one has set me in his sights, and I have no chance of escaping.
Camden Church is the guy I should’ve stayed away from. But when he mistakes my identity, I don’t correct him. I let him break all my rules.
It’s a night I’ll never forget—not that he’ll ever let me.
If my brother discovers our secret, he could jeopardize Camden’s pro hockey career and end it before it’s begun.
Camden thinks I’m going to rat him out, but he’s wrong.
I’d rather let him drag me into ruin than admit my most hidden desire: I like the dark, twisted things he does to me.
There’s nothing worse than falling for your tormentor… unless he also happens to be your brother’s best friend.
