Series: Offside Hearts #5

Tropes: hockey, sexy, steamy, found family, free spirit, he falls first,

Opposites attract…

Justin

On the ice, I’m always in control. As one of the Reading Redtails’ best defensemen, my focus is always on the play. O! the ice, I try to keep my eyes on the prize: a spot on an NHL team. Except when Vivi’s around. She’s bright, bold and beautiful and I can’t make myself look away. She’s a free spirit who’s built a fortress of ice around her bruised heart. I’m going to have to step up and take my best shot to break through her walls.

…and ignite

Vivi

I can’t help but notice Justin’s interest and, yeah, I’m not immune to his awkward charm or his grin that steals my breath. But falling for another athlete who will only leave and break my heart is the last thing I need. Been there, done that. No t-shirt required. Besides, I’m too busy for a man in my life. I’ve got three part-time jobs to make ends meet and a passion for photography that I’d love to become my career. Until I get a peek at what’s underneath Justin’s boy-scout exterior and discover a tattooed hunk who rocks my world with a kiss. I’d be a fool to pass up a chance to get him in bed....and in front of my camera. I’m not about to give him my heart. But if he leaves, my heart might just shatter like ice.
