Book Hero thinking about your next read

I have two goals this season:

1. Be named captain of the Seattle Serpents.

2. Stay single.

I'm right on track... until she happens.

Auden Sinclair.

We're stuck together for a night when our plane is forced to make an emergency landing, and that's all the promise we make—one night, then we go our separate ways.

Except she pops up again.

Then again.

Suddenly, she's everywhere. In my head and in my bed, completely taking over my life and ruining all my plans with her quippy comebacks, her smarts, and a body that fits against mine just perfectly.

The problem? Auden is off limits. Forbidden. Strictly in the DO NOT TOUCH zone. She goes against all the rules, but never have I wanted to bend them as badly as I do when it comes to her.

This might be one battle I'm not going to win...

Body Check is a standalone hockey romance novel. It contains a one-night stand, a billionaire heroine, a hot hockey player, obnoxious yet loveable teammates, goofy text threads, wit, plenty of steam, and a happy ending. This book does reference the death of a parent off the page.
