Welcome to Fort Lauderdale—where the days are hot and the Knights are hotter. From the first moment I laid eyes on Zoe in that Paris nightclub I knew it was love. Nothing else could explain the intensity I felt for the petite blond. She wasn’t my usual type, but she didn’t even blink at my scars, muscles, and voracious sexual appetite. A big, burly hockey player, brought to my knees by a woman a fraction my size. Everything was going great. Until I asked her to marry me. The only way we can be together long-term is if we get married, but she won’t even consider it. She's everything to me, but I may lose her forever. When my ex-fiancé left me at the altar, I was devastated. It took nearly three years for me to get over it and I vowed I’d never let anyone get that close again. Then I met Slava and realized I’d never truly been in love before. He’s everything a man should be—strong, sexy, successful, and tender. But I can’t marry him, so I did the only thing I I let him go. But when his world is turned upside-down and Slava needs me, I have to be there for him. And this time, I can't let him down—no matter the cost.
