Unfortunately, Whitney Aven has been surrounded by hockey players her entire life. Which is why she has a strict rule to never date one.
But Conrad isn’t like any other man she’s met. At first, she thinks he simply can’t stand her. But then she realizes that behind the handsome face and unrivalled talent is a man who is shy. And when their sizzling chemistry ignites one night, she discovers that behind closed doors he is far from reserved . . .
And Whitney’s no hockey player rule? Well, when she realizes Conrad is her brother’s biggest rival she is suddenly caught between the two most important men in her life.
