Playing Against Dax Temple

Lucy James has one rule when it comes to hockey players: never trust a man who thinks talent excuses bad behavior. As the PR director for the Los Angeles Hawks, she has dealt with enough arrogant athletes to last a lifetime. But no one tests her patience more than Dax Temple.

Dax is the team's biggest star - a gifted hockey player with a dangerous reputation, a confident attitude, and a habit of turning every mistake into a headline. After one scandal too many threatens his career, the Hawks give Lucy an impossible assignment: keep Dax out of trouble.

Lucy doesn't want to babysit a reckless superstar. Dax doesn't want anyone controlling his life. Their constant arguments create sparks neither of them expects, and the more time they spend together, the harder it becomes to deny the attraction growing between them.

Behind Dax's arrogant image is a man carrying pressure, secrets, and the fear of losing everything he has worked for. Behind Lucy's professional confidence is a woman who has learned to protect her heart at all costs.

But when Dax's greatest rival, Jack West, joins the team and starts getting dangerously close to Lucy, old rivalries return and everything they have built is put at risk.

On the ice, Dax knows how to win.

But when it comes to Lucy, the biggest challenge of his life may be learning how to let someone in.

Playing Against Dax Temple is a passionate hockey romance filled with rivalry, chemistry, emotional tension, and the unforgettable journey from enemies to something much more.
