Stripped by the Playmaker

I thought I’d found the one, my soulmate, and the man of my dreams; but I was so wrong. I’m tired of waiting for the right guy, and that’s when Holt Bramby skated into my life. He isn’t the one either. He’s a big grump and not the kind of guy you fall in love with, but he’s my savior. Those nice guys I trusted in the past haven’t been as nice as they pretended to be, and Holt is so much more than he seems. This was just an arrangement; temporary, but how can I say goodbye to the only man I’ve ever felt safe with? Hannah Whalen has me all wrong. I’m not her savior, but I can’t stop this overwhelming urge to block whatever comes her way. Hockey is my focus and I’m leaving in less than a year, but there is something about the quiet, fragile little mouse that is Hannah. One taste and I’m addicted. I can’t stay away, and I’ve lost all control. Nothing can stop me from taking her further than she’s ever been, but how is she ever going to forgive me when I failed to protect her from myself?
