Puck to the Heart

Olivia Barnes moved across the country for a new job in a male-dominated field (certainly not to avoid her ex), so she’s no stranger to being frustrated with men. When she meets Ash Wilder, Liv is too interested in the possibility of a free five-star dinner to notice the ‘date with a defender’ part of the deal on her raffle ticket. It’s annoyance at first sight.

Asher “The Basher” Wilder is known for being a pretty boy show-off on and off the ice, but that image is nothing like the man beneath the mask. When he meets Liv on their PR farce of a date, he’s intrigued by the woman who isn’t impressed by his looks and would rather read than watch a hockey game.

At first, Liv can’t stand Ash’s flirting, and he has too much fun getting under her skin. Until he gets her frustrated for other reasons. They keep running into each other, something more than chemistry grows between them. He’s more than happy to be her experiment, but when things between them become too serious, will they be doomed before the puck drops?
