Description
PRE-ORDER the second book in the Love and Hockey series, a steamy, grumpy/sunshine ice-hockey romance from #1 New York Times bestselling author Lauren Blakely.
--
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.
Shining up his rough edges is my path to landing the promotion I need, so I grit my teeth and do my job, no matter how hard he makes it.
As I get to know the man behind the broody iceman exterior, he becomes impossible to resist and soon, only once turns into every night.
But the man is entirely off limits.
Because the only thing worse than hooking up with a player is falling head over heels for him.
Tropes:
ice hockey romance
grumpy/sunshine
player and publicist
forbidden romance
workplace romance
secret dates
hate to love
