Playing for Keeps

de Kendall Ryan

I broke the cardinal rule of hockey—don’t touch your teammate’s sister. Especially not when she’s sweet, stunning, and way too good for a guy like me. But after we won the championship—and maybe had a little too much to drink—our flirty banter turned into one unforgettable night. She thinks I don’t remember. She couldn’t be more wrong. I remember everything. The way she tasted. The way she gasped my name. The way she ran from my bed like her life depended on it. Three months later, I still can’t get Elise out of my head. Can’t eat. Can’t sleep. Can’t stop obsessing over the one girl I’m supposed to stay away from. She thinks I’m just another hockey player looking for a good time. But she’s wrong about me. Dead wrong. Because I’m not backing down—not when she’s everything I never knew I needed. Game on, sweetheart. You’re about to find out how relentless a determined hockey player can be.
