About this ebook

From the author of the bestselling Fire on Ice series comes a new hockey romance series with heat, humor and heart...

He’s known as Father Anton to his teammates—the brooding, sexy captain of the NHL’s Chicago Blaze has a reputation for…not having a reputation. Just like his diet and sleep routines, celibacy is part of Anton Petrov’s on-ice mojo. Or so they say. Anton stays mum on the subject. If the world thinks he chooses to abstain from sex, so be it. Better that than the truth getting out: there is a woman he burns for, but he can never have her. She’s his teammate’s wife, after all.

Mia Marceau is finally on her own. Now that she and her husband are living apart, she’s finding the peace she was desperate for. She spends her days in classes and late nights bartending, making her own way in the world at last. After what she’s been through, as long as her husband leaves her alone, she doesn’t plan to rock the boat. He still has the power to hurt those dearest to her, and she can’t demand a divorce with such a high cost.

A chance encounter with Mia has Anton hoping for a shot he never thought he’d get. And while she’s drawn to the intense, serious hockey center, Mia’s leery about playing with fire. That’s all Anton has ever known for Mia, though—a living, burning desire that won’t be denied—no matter the cost. 

Perfect for readers of Sawyer Bennett, Toni Aleo, Kelly Jamieson and Sarina Bowen.

Ratings and reviews

Really got into the story of Anton and Mia. I was rooting for them all the way and cried a little here and there.

I did enjoyed Anton and Mia srory very much.The emotional abuse Mia was put trough from Adam was upsetting but I like the payback Anton gived to Adam.In short I loved the book.

I love stories like this. Motivating and optimist. No dark depressing stuff. Plus it's written well too. Thumbs up.
