The
Warriors take to the ice again in Charlene Groome’s sensational series about
hockey players and the women who love them. But the team’s new addition may
have to work for a warm welcome…
Defenseman Devin Miller has bounced from team to team and
city to city, but he’s finally ready to settle down—professionally and
personally. The Warriors seems like the perfect fit. Now all he needs is the
right woman to start a family with—and he’s willing to put in the practice to
find her.
Sports anchor Carla Sinclair already doesn’t like
Vancouver’s hot new acquisition. So when she’s persuaded to interview him,
she’s not prepared for the chemistry between them. But though Devin seems eager
to show Carla his moves—on and off the ice—he keeps his personal life
off-limits. Frustrated by him in more ways than one, Carla decides to track
down Devin’s secrets on her own—and soon must decide if their attraction is
worth the hit to her fragile heart…
“So, Devin, what do you want from me?”
He glances down at his almost empty beer. “If you want an
interview, I want a night out
with you. Show me the city.”
She burst out laughing. “You have teammates for that,” she
says, staring at his prickly
chin. “Ask one of the guys.”
“I plan to stay here for a while. I need to know about the
city I’m playing in.”
“Do you do this in every city you play in? Get a chaperone
to show you around?”
“No, this is the first.” He looks up at her and their eyes
meet. For a second, Carla can
barely breathe, mesmerized by his seductive eyes, so dark
they make her heartbeat carry on with double rhythm.
She swallows hard. “For some reason I don’t believe that.”
“Believe it! Do you have a hard time meeting friends?”
“No.”
“Then it shouldn’t be a problem if we get to know each
other.”
She stares at him, contemplating. “That can’t happen.”
“Why not?”
“Because…” She’s stumped. “Because it can’t.”
“You don’t think I’m good enough for the team, do you?”
“I didn’t say that!”
“You implied.” He looks at his glass and then at her. “I
know how you feel about me.”
“I don’t know what I said.” She tries to recall her last
newscast.
“It’s not what you said, it’s what you want.”
I
write contemporary romance that are modern -sexy heroes and strong minded
heroines- with satisfying endings.
I have combined my love of ice hockey with romantic stories.
