Puck Off, She’s Mine

His little white lie was supposed to get her attention… not start a locker-room war.

They say history always repeats itself.
They also say reporters and athletes don’t mix.
My father didn’t believe either rule.
Apparently, neither do I because I can’t stop thinking about Cara Oliver.
The gorgeous journalist checks every box I didn’t know I had.
She’s sassy, funny, and completely unimpressed by me.
So I do what any desperate man would do.
I start a rumor juicy enough to pull her straight into my orbit.
It works.
What I didn’t plan on? My teammate deciding she’s fair game.
Now he’s circling her like she’s the puck, and she thinks I’m hiding a scandal.
But I don’t back down. Not on the ice, not off it.
He can puck right off because I don’t share what’s mine.
And Cara Oliver is mine.

Covering the Houston Lonestars is my job.
Dating one of them? Absolutely not.
I refuse to be another puck bunny…until Phoenix Michaud skates right into me.
He’s arrogant, infuriating, and way too persistent.
And I’m pretty sure he’s behind the rumors swirling around the arena.
I should stay far away from him.
Instead, he gets closer every day.
Every touch makes it harder to remember why I should resist.
Every kiss makes me forget I ever wanted to.
Then his rivalry with his teammate turns into an all-out war.
Now I’m stuck in the middle of a battle I never asked for…
And I hate how much I want Phoenix to win.
