Part of Pucked, book 1
First published 2015
Violet Hall knows hockey players well through her NHL stepbrother. She's seen enough to dismiss team captain Alex Waters as another pretty face with abs and zero brains. Then Alex shatters her assumptions about hockey player intelligence, and Violet makes a decision she'll question later. She sleeps with him, expecting nothing more than one incredible night. Alex has other plans. He calls constantly. He texts. He emails. He sends expensive and bizarre gifts. Violet finds herself drawn to him despite her better judgment. The media paints Alex as a serial womanizer, and Violet refuses to become another conquest. She wants to stay away from his world of cameras and gossip. But Alex keeps pushing, and Violet discovers that avoiding him becomes harder each day. She must decide whether to trust the man she's getting to know or believe the playboy image that follows him everywhere.
