The first rule of handling PR for a hockey team? Never hook up with a player.
That shouldn’t be a problem since the last man on earth I want to give an image makeover to is our goalie. He’s infuriatingly hot, famously grumpy and lives to spar with me after every game. But shining up his rough edges is my path to landing the promotion I desperately need, so I grit my teeth and do my job. No matter how hard he makes it (especially with that sexy smirk and cool blue eyes.) As we travel from pose-with-a-pet photo opps to cuddle-a-kitten fundraisers, we bicker like it’s foreplay. Turns out it is. Because as I get to know the man behind the broody iceman exterior, it’s me that melts–right into his arms as he devastates me with a kiss that turns into the hottest, most forbidden night of my life.
Only once turns into every night as Max shows me how much he wants to take care of me. His possessive touch makes me feel adored for the first time in my life.
But the man is entirely off limits and I can’t risk my job for more of those soul-deep kisses.
Because the only thing worse than hooking up with a player is falling head over heels for him.

A forbidden romance with my brother’s hockey-playing teammate wasn’t on my to-do list when I moved across the country.
Neither was getting locked out of a friend’s place wearing next to nothing.Or spending the night with the sexy stranger who rescues me.But I’m trying to get out of my comfort zone so getting out of the rest of my clothes with him seems like a good way to start.In the morning, I learn the filthy-mouthed man with the talented hands is not only the hotshot new hockey player on my brother’s team: he’s also – wait for it – my brand new roommate.I’m a good student turned good librarian. A rule-follower. I’m not the kind of girl who does complicated flings. So we agree to another rule: friends-only.It’s not easy though. Wes is bossy, flirty and generous.He gives me rides to work.Pitches in at my library’s fundraiser.Takes care of me when I get hurt.And looks at me like I’m the only one.Soon, I’m falling hard for my brother’s teammate.Especially when Wes comes to my door and tells me exactly how he’d like to break our rules.Every single one.
