The Flirting Game

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description
Score big with this spicy, laugh-out-loud hockey rom-com from #1 New York Times bestselling author Lauren Blakely. My new neighbour is a hot, grumpy hockey player who works out shirtless on his porch every morning. But it's not technically spying if I just happen to be on my patio at the same time...right? Imagine my surprise when the sexy grouch turns out to be my newest interior design client-a pro hockey player redecorating his mom's house. He's sworn off distractions in his final season, and I definitely don't date clients. But between stolen glances, a scorching backyard kiss, and one fake-date-turned-sleepover, our chemistry is impossible to ignore. From charity galas to hockey games, pretending we're not falling for each other becomes the hardest play of all. Now I just have to convince Ford that with me he can have both love and hockey.
