Micah's new roommate is turning his world upside down. Maybe a little shake up is just what he needs. Micah Smith loves order. He’s stable. Single-minded. Sure, he has quirks and routines, just like all hockey players. But his focus is on being the best possible defenseman for the Denver Stampede, and everything is going perfectly. Until a purple-haired hurricane blows into his life. Josie Caine lives by her own rules. Chaos is the spice of life and boredom doesn't exist in her world. Staying put isn’t her thing, but she’s made Denver her home the last few months. So, when her boyfriend-of-the-moment skips town, she’s not ready to leave, she just needs a place to crash. As luck would have it, her brother's best friend—a man she’s secretly crushed on for years—happens to have a two-bedroom condo. Josie promises she won’t mess up his routine. Except as soon as she moves in, she’s making him feel things he has no business feeling about his best friend’s little sister. Their heat’s not just melting the ice, it could liquify a glacier. Can Josie fall hard enough to put down roots? Or is Micah messing up his carefully constructed routine—and his heart—for nothing? * Brother's best friend * Opposites Attract * Forced Proximity * Banter from the start * A kiss that never should've happened * He's a rule follower and she loves doing the unexpected * Dirty talking defenseman * Quirky game day routines

USA Today Bestselling Author, Stephanie Kay has always loved a good romance, and she got hooked on the dirty ones at the tender age of 14, when she told her mother that if the cover wasn’t a bodice ripper, then there was no sex in the book. As an avid mystery reader, her mother never checked to see if Stephanie was lying. Twenty plus years later, Stephanie’s most prized possession is her Kindle, and she may have a Hallmark movie obsession. She has called California, Maryland, and Rhode Island her home, but now lives in New Hampshire with her husband where she asks him incessant questions until he escapes to go hiking in the mountains. That’s the only time she can get him out of the house so she can get her writing in. Married couples shouldn’t both work from home! Sports were never her thing, but after beta reading for another hockey author and buying NHL Game Center within one month of watching her first hockey game a few years ago, she dove into learning everything she could about the sport and the hot men that play it. Now she spends her spare time visiting hockey arenas in the name of research and loving every second of it. You can find her online at www.stephkaybooks.com, and on Facebook and Twitter.
