Series: Offside Hearts, #4

Tropes: hockey, sexy, steamy, found family

Falling for the Enforcer

He's an instigator on and off the ice...

Derek

I can goad any opponent into throwing down his gloves with a few well-chosen words. Off the ice, I can talk a woman into dropping her inhibitions (and her panties) in seconds. My teammates love me...when they don't want to gag me. From the moment I see Sophie, I’m struck dumb. For a whole two seconds. Then I do what I do best. I charm my way into her bed. But can I charm my way into her life?

…who's about to take a slapshot to the heart.

Sophie

I’m well acquainted with chaos. As a waitress in my parents' bar and favorite aunt of my four sisters' kids, I’m used to dealing with drunks and toddlers. But I’ve never met anyone like Derek. He tempts me to let loose and invite him into my bed. I never expected this playboy to want to stay. But when Derek pushes for more than I’m prepared to give, can I trust him with my heart?
