Heatwave Hockey

One night with the enemy player next door… now he's calling me his wife. Seven years ago, we shared a night. The next morning, he didn't remember.

He's mister tattooed and dangerous. The Houston Heatwave's top defender. And the actual bane of my existence. An injury on the ice has me playing nurse for one night.
