When love melts the ice, numbers fade into the background. Welcome to the Carolina Fury, where passion thaws even the most frozen hearts.Lorelai Hollis dreams of finishing college, getting a decent job, and not much else. Numbers are what she knows best. They are her life and future. Numbers are predictable. They are stable. They are constant. When a whole houseful of drop-dead-gorgeous men move in across the street, she knows she doesn’t stand a chance with any of them, not when they see the goddess roommates she lives with. So why try? Reid Tillman is the newest contracted player with the North Carolina Fury AHL hockey team and is well on his way to the NHL. He doesn’t do complicated. He doesn’t do dating. His focus is only on the ice. Everything else is just white noise. That is… until his new neighbor catches his eye, a breathtaking pocket-sized hottie who wants absolutely nothing to do with him, and yet, he must have her.
