This one-night stand is going into overtime.
The Stingrays call goalie Coulton Moore their gentle giant. The tall, imposing man is the team's rock, their steadying influence on and off the ice. However, that mild disposition disappears completely when the beautiful bartender he's been lusting after from across a crowded bar is attacked. Then, it's all bets off as he steps in to defend her, protect her, and claim her as his.
Ainsley doesn't have time for any more men in her life. Between serving a rowdy bunch of guys in her family's dive bar, caring for her ailing father, and dealing with her brother and his ever-growing pile of gambling debt, her cup overfloweth when it comes to the male population.
When her brother's enemies track her down, looking for retribution, a sexy, dominant stranger steps forward to save her. At first, it's simple enough to accept his help and his kisses and his tantalizing touches because, after a lifetime of crap, she figures she's due a night of mind-blowing passion with Coulton, the hottest man she's ever met.
The problem begins when morning comes and he informs her what they shared was never going to be just a one-night stand. Nope. Coulton, the stubborn, determined, possessive man is settling for nothing less than her.
And forever.
