    About this ebook

    How exactly has one good deed landed me in the penalty box?

    Ice Knights defenseman Zach Blackburn has come down with the flu, and my BFF—his PR manager—begs me to put my nursing degree to use and get him back to health. Of course she would call in a favor for the most hated man in Harbor City.

    But when he’s finally on the mend and I’m sneaking out of his place, everything goes sideways. Paparazzi spot me and pictures, plus accusations that I slept with him, fly faster than a hockey puck.

    At first, all of Harbor City wants my blood—or to give me a girlie-girl makeover. But then…the team finally wins a game. And now this fickle town wants me with the big jerk twenty-four seven.

    Argh. I never slept with him the first time! But no one will listen. Then the grumpy bastard goes and promises to break his no-fan-appearances rule to help raise money for a free health clinic—but only if I’m rink-side at every game. That’s not a deal I can turn down.

    But when the team keeps winning, and I realize there’s more to him than his bad reputation, suddenly remembering to keep my real hands off my fake date gets harder and harder to do.

She was a reader before she was a writer and hopes to always be both. She loves to write about smartass alpha heroes who are as good with a quip as they are with their *ahem* other God-given talents. Her heroines are feisty, fierce and fantastic. Brainy and brave, these ladies know how to stand on their own two feet and knock the bad guys off theirs.

      Could Zach and Fallon be any different. Complete opposites but they are exactly what the other needs. Fallon has spread herself out too thin as she follows her dreams of running a free clinic. She's already running on empty so the last thing she needs to do is nurse a grouchy, spoilt hockey hunk. Being attracted to him does not help but being the big hearted woman that she is she can't say no to her bestie. Zach has been burned by the people who is supposed to trust blindly so he doesn't let anyone in easily. He's a loner because he has history that he's ashamed of. But right now he knows he has no other option but to let Fallon work her magic and get him back on his feet in time for the next game. His performance is worse than ever and he hates letting his coach and team down.He is caught off guard when he finds himself drawn to Fallon. She's nothing like the women he's dated and in spite of being a mean douchebag to her she still won't back down. He soon realizes that his game is better and she gets dubbed his Lady Luck. He's finds himself wanting her around as much as possible, and more surprising he's beginning to trust her.When his secret becomes public news she's the only one who defends him. But he reverts to his grumpy old self and shuts everyone out. Until he realizes that the people he's hiding away from are the very people who are willing to stand and fight with him. And if he'd just get out of his way love was waiting for him to come and claim her.Advanced Review Copy provided for voluntary review consideration.

      Nice story. You really like Zack anddFallon. I hope there is a book for Tess the super shy friend with verbal diarrhoea
    • 4/5
      Smart, Funny, Sexy Read.
      Spoilers ahead.
      Fallon Hartigan is a softie, deep deep down where she doesnt often let it show. Generally she is a sassy, quick with the comebacks, not-a-girlie-girl, no nonsense ER nurse.
      As a favor to one of her besties, Fallon finds herself nursing Mr. Chip-on-his-shoulder himself - Zach Blackburn - bad boy Ice Knights hockey star on a losing streak who could give Darcy and Elizabeth some tips.
      Zach has trust issues and pride issues, but in the end he lets "won't-take-anyone's-shit" Fallon into his life and then into his heart.
      At first it's a matter of luck - because Fallon's mere presence in Zach's life on game days has finally got him back on a winning streak. But in the midst of winning games and charity agendas, a matter of luck becomes a matter of love.
      Queue the angst and drama as Zach's past betrayers make a sudden reappearance in his life and Fallon slips up, causing all his trust issues to come roaring back with a vengeance.
      But never fear because the Hartigan family and friends circle are there for a rescue, along with the Ice Knights hockey team for an assist!
      And as totally expected we are treated to a win for HEA fans everywhere. #TeamZuck
