I have one job: keep an out-of-control playboy hockey player in line for the remainder of his team’s season. But my plan is blown to bits when Dane pucking Foster starts to blur the thin line between love and hate.

Dane is hell on skates. He’s one of the best in pro hockey, but he parties as hard as he plays, and his team owner is fed up with his PR disasters. When my firm assigns me to be Dane's full-time handler, I take the job and cross my fingers that I'll finally get promoted beyond lowly junior publicist.

The job's even worse than I expected. Dane is brash and obnoxious. Not remotely my type. We argue over everything while we're practically glued together thanks to his team’s rigorous travel schedule. But before long, our contempt starts to turn into something even more powerful than desire.

It’s need. And giving into it will come at a steep price.
