He’s the enforcer on the ice. The one no one dares cross. I’m the curvy romance author who just wanted a quiet holiday weekend. Neither of us was ready for what happened next. I came to Lake Tahoe for some peace, quiet, and maybe a little writing inspiration. Instead, I got Eli Jackson—6’5” of brooding hockey player who doesn’t know how to take no for an answer. He’s intense, obsessed, and making it his mission to claim me like I’m the last goal he’ll ever score. I’m not exactly complaining, but let’s just say I wasn’t prepared for the kind of heat this man is bringing to the snow. One stolen kiss turns into something a whole lot steamier, and suddenly I’m falling hard. But Eli isn’t just playing for keeps—he’s playing to win. And this time, I’m the prize. If you love alpha males who don’t hold back, curvy heroines who give as good as they get, and enough spice to melt the ice, this is your next must-read! PREVIOUSLY PUBLISHED AS "OWNING EVA"
