Series: Fast Ice #1

Tropes: hockey romance, steamy contemporary romance, one night stand, secret affair

Bylines & Bluelines

A one-night stand hot enough to melt the hardest ice…

Brody Mitchell is a damn good hockey player with the NHL contract to prove it. He loves the game but hates the hype, the spotlight and the puck bunnies trying to score an athlete husband. He’s been burned before. He’s not looking to repeat that mistake. But one night with an anonymous beautiful brunette and it’s game on.

As a brand-new sports reporter for the Philadelphia Record, Tara Downey should be more interested in tracking down a hot trade rumor than in how many times the hot stranger can rock her world. But after bombing out on an assignment, she can't resist a taste of him as a consolation … even if it’s only for a few hours.

In the light of day, they find themselves on opposite sides of the boards—and back to steaming up the sheets. Can she trust him to hold her heart safe? Or will their secret affair tear them apart?
