On the ice, Justin Perry is always in control. As one of the Reading Redtails' best defensemen, he plays with an intense focus and skates like he was born on blades. Off the ice, he's content to keep his head down and his eyes on the prize: a spot on an NHL team. Except when Vivi Martin's around. She's bright, bold and beautiful and Justin can't make himself look away.
Vivi can't help but notice Justin's interest and, yeah, she's not immune to his awkward charm or his grin that steals her breath. But falling for another athlete who will only leave and break her heart is the last thing she needs. Been there, done that. No t-shirt required. She's too busy working three part-time jobs to make ends meet while figuring out how to use her passion for photography to build a career.
Until Vivi gets a peek at what's underneath Justin's boy-scout exterior and discovers a tattooed hunk who rocks her world with a kiss. She'd be a fool to pass up a chance to get him in her bed....and in front of her camera. And Vivi's no fool.
But when a career-focused hockey player pursues a free spirit who's built a fortress of ice around her bruised heart, Justin's going to have to step up and take his best shot to break through Vivi's walls...and hope it doesn't shatter them both.
