He's a bad idea wrapped in a smirk. And I've already made that mistake once.I came back to Calgary for business, not pleasure. Settling my ex-husband's estate was supposed to be a simple, temporary detourdeal with the mess Troy Bowen left behind, finalize the paperwork, and leave.Then I met Andr Leclerc.Cocky. Infuriating. Too young by at least eight years. He's everything I should avoid with a reckless charm that reminds me too much of my past mistakes. He flirts like it's a game, makes ridiculous promises, and then shows up at my door with tacos like I didn't tell him twice to back the hell off.Exceptnot everything about Andre adds up.The way he drives a beat-up Chevy but then covers his teammate's fees without a word. The way he shows up when no one else is watching. The way he works a blue-collar job but then understands the ins and outs of real estate as well as I do, even though I've built my career in corporate and property law.And the way he looks at melike he's addicted to pantsuits. Like he knows exactly how to get me to let loose . . .I don't do reckless anymore. I don't do charming. But when we're forced to work on the same charity game together, I can't seem to get him and his damn tacos out of my head.Six weeks and then I can go back to my quiet, structured life. I can hold my ground until then, can't I?

While being treated in urgent care.Our TWO no-name hookups were months ago, and I had zero idea he was the captain of Pucks Deep, our rival hockey team. The guy all the Snowballs players have a deep-seated grudge against.Now, all of it is back to bite me because I just found out Jordan has a connection to one of Alberta's hardest-to-reach hospitals.
