Full Synopsis
Gigi Graham has exactly three goals: qualify for the women's national hockey team, win Olympic gold, and step out of her famous father's shadow. So far, so good, except for two little things. Fine—a little thing and a big, grumpy thing. She needs to improve her game behind the net, and she needs help from Luke Ryder.

Ryder is six-foot five, built, opinionated, rude . . . and sexy as hell. But he's still the enemy.

Briar's new hockey cocaptain has his reasons, though. The men's team just merged with a rival program, leaving Ryder with an angry roster where everyone hates one another's guts. To make matters worse, the summer coaching spot he's angling for with the legendary Garrett Graham is out of reach after he makes the worst possible first impression on his hero. So, really, this compromise with Gigi is win-win. He helps her make the national team, she puts in a good word with her dad.

The only potential snag? This bone-deep, body-numbing, mind-spinning chemistry they're trying to ignore. It's a dangerous game they're playing, but the risks just might be worth it.

Contains mature themes.

"CJ Bloom and Teddy Hamilton were perfectly paired together and truly contributed to my inability to put it down. Their portrayals of both Gigi and Ryder were spot on, with immense care given to both the emotion and the humor of the story." —Sweet Reads and Treats

"CJ Bloom's upbeat and sprightly tone captures Gigi's passionate and determined persona. Teddy Hamilton expertly showcases Luke's various emotions, emphasizing his grumpy, vulnerable, and loving sides." —AudioFile

"I have to commend all-Star narrators CJ Bloom and Teddy Hamilton on their outstanding job putting voice to these characters. They brought all of the snark, all of the feist, and all of the playfulness these characters exuded." ---Maren's Reads

"She [Kennedy] does an exceptional job creating equally flawed and endearing characters and conjuring palpable chemistry between the leads. Sparkling dialogue and a solid supporting cast help to keep the pages flying. As romantic as it is spicy, this will leave readers eagerly awaiting the next installment." —Publishers Weekly Starred Review
