Tempting the King: An Opposites Attract Grumpy Hockey Player Romance (Palate Teasers)

She's an overachiever with control issues. He's the king of chaos, with no room in his life for love.

Hockey players make the worst clients ever.

They're arrogant neanderthals, who are completely out of touch with their emotions. But that's exactly where I come in.

See, I'm a professional cuddler, and when the Detroit Blades hockey team has a problem, they send it my way.

Taking on another player is the last thing I want to do, but the deal is too sweet to turn down, so I'm stuck with one last grumpy, angry ice warrior named King Hertzof.

Big. Mistake.

With one platonic touch, he becomes obsessed with claiming me as his own, and his caveman antics upend my perfectly ordered life.

I've always been in charge, but all of a sudden, when King says kneel, I find myself looking up into the icy eyes of the man that makes my insides melt and my heart hope for things it shouldn't.

But when I have to make a choice between family and love, will all our dreams come crashing down? Or will we score the winning goal?


Author's note: This superstitious hockey hero always keeps his big stick under wraps until the season is over. Only, some temptations are too much to resist. Will breaking his rules put his career in jeopardy? Or will the sexy redheaded cuddler be just the incentive he needs to bring home the win for them both? Safe, no cheating, with a wild, over-the-top hero that will melt your heart.
