With a powerhouse female athlete, a brooding hockey captain, and red-hot chemistry, this enemies-to-lovers romance is everything fans crave.

From the back cover:

"You feel this too don't you?" His eyes are on mine. Dark blue and bottomless. "Yeah. I feel it."

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...ad sexy as hell. But he's still the enemy.

Briar's new hockey co-captain 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 a 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.
