Relationships are not in Lauren Gentryâs playbook. The only kind sheâs willing to consider are friends-with-benefits and even a red-hot and sexy hockey player like Dave Martin isnât going to change that. Right?
When those chocolate brown eyes threaten to melt her defenses she has to remind herself that her demons from her past could rise up at any moment. Which is going to be pretty hard to do, since she loses herself every time they touch.
Dave used to love the benefits that came easily to professional athletes; especially when they were in the form of puck bunnies who only wanted one night. But when he meets the pint-sized girl with bewitching green eyes and sun-streaked auburn hair his outlook suddenly changes.Â
He wants forever with Lauren. Now he just has to convince her.
Can Lauren risk everything for the man sheâs secretly been falling for? Or will her past stop her from taking a chance on love?
