Damaged Defender

One night with the enemy player next door…now he’s calling me his wife.

Seven years ago we shared a night, and the next morning–he didn’t remember. Now I’m a journalist working my way up the news media ladder. When my best friend’s moody brother moves in next door. And now an endless parade of rowdy hockey bros stroll our shared hall.

He’s mister tattooed and dangerous. The Houston Heatwave's top defender. And the actual bane of my existence.

An injury on the ice has me playing nurse for one night. But when he asks me to marry him for convenience, I know he bumped his head too hard.

He needs a wife to fulfill an inheritance clause to save his family’s legacy. I need intel on his hockey team, my career depends on it.

So I wear the Heatwave team jersey–with his name on it. Soon I’m falling into this bad boy’s bed and we’re both scoring.

But Zane O’Connor’s scars are hidden. Mine are more visible and in the form of a six year old boy who looks just like him. If he finds out we could lose it all–and Houston, we’d have a real problem.

Damaged Defender is a spicy marriage of convenience, pro hockey romance. It’s the second book in the Houston Heatwave series and can be enjoyed as a standalone with a guaranteed happily ever after for our enemies turned lovers.
