About this audiobook

Gigi Graham has exactly three goals: qualify for the women's national hockey team, win Olympic gold, and step out of her famous father's shadow. So far, so good, except for two little things. Fine-a little thing and a big, grumpy thing. She needs to improve her game behind the net, and she needs help from Luke Ryder. Ryder is six-foot five, built, opinionated, rude . . . and sexy as hell. But he's still the enemy. Briar's new hockey cocaptain has his reasons, though. The men's team just merged with a rival program, leaving Ryder with an angry roster where everyone hates one another's guts. To make matters worse, the summer coaching spot he's angling for with the legendary Garrett Graham is out of reach after he makes the worst possible first impression on his hero. So, really, this compromise with Gigi is win-win. He helps her make the national team, she puts in a good word with her dad. The only potential snag? This bone-deep, body-numbing, mind-spinning chemistry they're trying to ignore. It's a dangerous game they're playing, but the risks just might be worth it. Contains mature themes.

Ratings and reviews

It literally felt like coming home when I started this book! The feel, the atmosphere, everything, like the two previous series set at Briar U, I was all in from the start. Gigi and Ryder were, well, they sparked off each other. They challenged each other. They worked so well together. They brought out the best in each other. They frustrated each other. And the chemistry, the heat, those were stratospheric with how much in sync and in tune with each other they were.
