Sweet Pucker

Avery

Seven years ago, I walked away from the only man I've ever loved, believing I wasn't the right woman for him. Ryan Gunner was my first everything, and he was supposed to be my last-until I broke his heart.
The imprint he left on me has never faded, and when Ryan is traded to The Toronto Northmen-the same team I work for-I vow to remain professional, even if he's everything I've ever wanted. I'm not the woman who can give him the life we dreamed of sharing, and our love story is best left in the past.

When my team asked me to waive my "No-Movement-Clause," I agreed-on one condition. Trade me to The Toronto Northmen and send me home to the woman who's always owned my heart: Emerson Avery. The past seven years have been torture. We're meant to be together, and she can try to play the "just friends" card, but I'm not falling for it. Kissing her again proves that together we're hot enough to melt ice. So why is she still fighting against us?

This time around, I'm in it to win it. If there's one thing I've learned skating on a pair of steel blades, chasing after a frozen piece of rubber, it's that all is fair in love and hockey.
