Some games are hotter off the ice

But instead of gaining experience as an athletic trainer, she s cleaning toilets. Awesome. The trip is a disaster, and even better, she meets Kyle Bennett. In the sauna. Naked.
Sexy hockey player Kyle was the star right wing for an NHL team. But after an accident killed his wife and left him injured, Kyle has appreciated the therapeutic benefits of booze and puck bunnies. Now in Finland for the summer, he s coaching in an elite hockey-training camp for teens.

And neither expects, while stranded on an island during a storm, to have a scorching night of passion.
But as their charade, and then their attraction, develops into something deeper, the past comes back, threatening to destroy them. They must decide if their feelings for each other are strong enough to survive or it will be game over.
These two characters storylines wove together flawlessly and made for one hot read that had me wanting to pack my bags for my own Finland adventure. Cindi Madsen, USA TODAY bestselling author of ANATOMY OF A PLAYER"
