BLURB:
Killian Bosch knows he’s his own worst enemy – he just doesn’t give a damn. The star forward of a minor league hockey team, he’s unstoppable on the ice. His reckless behavior, devil-may-care attitude and complete disregard for consequences have made him a major source of headaches for the Fenway Flyers’ brass.
But the new Flyers owner is more steel than brass. Sidney Stahl is a disciplined woman who parlayed earnings from a college job into a real estate empire. She’s determined to transform the Flyers from marketing nightmare to hockey powerhouse. Once she gets Killian in line, she knows the rest of the team will follow his lead.
The seduction of his sexy new team owner is a challenge too forbidden for Killian to resist. Sidney plays into his attraction as a means of controlling him, but soon finds that she’s the one surrendering. It’s all on the line as Killian and Sidney are forced to choose - business or pleasure?
Excerpt:
Clearing my throat, I steeled myself. I’d spoken to
corporate boards of directors without even breaking a sweat. I was Sidney
Stahl. Sidney Ice Queen Stahl,
actually. I didn’t get intimidated.
“There’s been a lot of change on this team recently,”
I said, looking around at the players’ faces. I deliberately didn’t make eye
contact with Killian, because I had to hold on to my focus. “You’re here right
now because Coach Caldwell believes in you. I believe in you. I want this to be
a team we’re all proud of. And right now, win or lose, I’m proud of you. I’ve
seen the work you’ve all been putting in, and it means a lot. It means
everything. The great Vince Lombardi said that winning isn’t everything, but
wanting to win is. That’s all I ask of you. Want it. Know you’ve earned it.”
I nodded at Orion and he started his pregame talk. I
knew this was a private moment between him and his players so I slowly worked
my way to the back of the locker room, torn between feeling like I didn’t
belong and not wanting to disrespect Orion by leaving the room. In the end I
decided to stay. He didn’t talk for long, and I stood aside while the guys
filtered out to head for the ice. But I was surprised when instead of leaving
they gathered into a tight circle. My ears perked at the sound of Killian’s
deep, sexy voice murmuring something to the group.
Then his voice boomed throughout the locker room when
he yelled, “Bennett, do you believe?”
“I believe!” Bennett yelled back, his voice the only
sound in the room.
“Liam, do you believe?”
“I believe!” Liam’s voice reminded me of a drill
sergeant’s no-nonsense bellow.
“I believe!” Killian yelled.
“We will win!” the rest of the team yelled back in
unison.
“I believe!” Killian cried again as they all huddled
close.
“We will win!” the others belted out.
“I believe!”
“We will win!”
“Flyers!” they all yelled together.
The room was charged with testosterone. I no longer
felt like the female team owner, but rather a woman with raging hormones.
Hearing them shout was so sexy and hearing Killian lead the team in that chant
made me want to go directly home and break out my vibrator.
