Chicago Blades

I don't date hockey players. Especially not my best friend's cocky, infuriating brother-the one I can't stand. But one scorching night shattered all the rules, and now, I can't stop thinking about what we started. Gio DeLuca isn't just known for his skills on the ice-he's notorious for his hot temper and bad-boy attitude that fans love to hate. He's also the kind of sizzling hot that makes you forget your own name, with a smirk that says he knows exactly what he's doing to you. I've made a career out of calling out jerks like Gio, and trust me, he's hated me for it since day one. Now, I'm stuck shadowing him for an exclusive piece, and suddenly, I'm spending way too much time up close and personal with the man I swore I'd never fall for. Our chemistry is off the charts, and it's getting harder to remember why I hate him. But my job has a strict no-dating policy. If we get caught, I'll be looking for a new job. And a new best friend. How do we undo what's already been done?

Mistake #1: One scorching night with Jacob Walker, Chicago Blade's notorious playboy and my brother's best friend. Mistake #2: Agreeing to be his fake fiancé to save his career. Mistake #3: Falling for the man who doesn't know he's about to become our baby's daddy. Jacob has a body forged in steel and a smile that can melt the ice… he's every woman's fantasy. I'm the team's new strait-laced PR executive tasked with cleaning up his image... while hiding my growing secret. Whenever he holds me close for the cameras, it feels less like pretend. And when we kiss, it makes me want to play house for real. But Mr. Always-In-Demand is allergic to commitment. If the truth about my secret is revealed, everything could fall apart. Will he step up or skate away when he finds out?

I accidentally walked into the men's room and caught icy-hot goalie Evan Daniels with his pants down. Let's just say the view was unforgettable… I've never been so embarrassed-and turned on-at the same time. Grumpy, bossy, and emotionally unavailable, he's everything I shouldn't want, yet I've been hopelessly crushing on him for months. But when those icy blue eyes lock on mine, all bets are off. And watching him coach his little girl on the ice? Game over for my heart. But just when I think I'm breaking through his frosty exterior, he shuts me out like a puck on a penalty kill. Now he's grumpier than ever, and I can't figure out what I did wrong-or how to fix it. I'm writing a feature about his nephew, but he's the one I can't stop thinking about. How do I get him to realize I'm not just a reporter sticking her nose where it doesn't belong? If I play my cards right, maybe-just maybe-I'll find out. Icy Pucking Play is a steamy, single-dad, pro hockey romance. It's the third book in the Chicago Blades series and can be enjoyed as a standalone. HEA guaranteed!
