TEASER:

I keep my voice slow and deliberate when I ask, “Why is there a baby in the locker room?”


The far side of the circle parts, and Ronan McCabe sits at his locker stall, bent over and lacing up his skates. His head snaps up, and he uses one hand to brush back the tendrils of dark hair that have fallen across his forehead.


When our eyes meet, he doesn’t look anything like the angry, annoyed man I normally see. He looks more like the college kid I drafted back in St. Louis—the kid with bright green eyes and a cocky smirk, who walked onto his D1 hockey team and ended up getting drafted to the pros his junior year—than the pro-hockey player who’s spent the past eight years hating me.


He looks . . . lost.


As he bites his lower lip, I can’t take my eyes off him, and I can’t stop wishing he hadn’t just done that. I don’t want to notice that full lip or the row of perfectly straight teeth sinking into it. I don’t want to notice the way his eyes heat when he looks at me, or the way they sweep from my face down my body and back up again so quickly I’m not sure it actually happened. Because Ronan McCabe hasn’t looked at me with this lost puppy dog look in a very long time, and the last time he did, it ruined my marriage and almost ruined his career.


What to expect: 

๐Ÿ’ Enemies to lovers

๐Ÿ’ Single dad

๐Ÿ’ Reverse age gap

๐Ÿ’ Forced proximity

๐Ÿ’ Workplace romance

๐Ÿ’ She’s his boss


Blurb:

Some people might call it a grudge, but in reality, hating Alessandra Jones is more like an obsession. 

 

AJ is the league’s first female general manager, and my boss. As the team captain, I have to play nice with her—in public, at least. 

 

But in private, the gloves come off.  And then one time, our clothes do too.

 

We vow it won’t happen again.

 

Not only can we not stand each other, but we’re in tense negotiations over my contract right now, and AJ is up for the league’s GM of the Year award. Getting involved wouldn’t just be a PR nightmare—it would be unethical.

 

It doesn’t help that we have a history, or that she and my daughter adore each other. When AJ is injured protecting my baby, there’s no choice but to move her into my place. 

 

Taking care of someone I hate shouldn’t feel so right. Getting to know her better shouldn’t break down my defenses. She’s hurt me once before, and I’d be a fool to trust her again. 

 

But the more time we spend together, the more I realize that maybe I’m not obsessed with hating her . . . maybe I’m just obsessed with her.
