hole everyone thinks he is. At least Miranda never thought so, until recently. He puts on a tough guy act for the rest of the world. He’s the rough, scrapper on the ice; the man’s man off it; and a tiger in the sack. It’s all bullshit, except for the last part—he’s a dynamo between the sheets. She gave him her heart and her virginity a long time ago. They were supposed to be the fairy-tale romance of high school sweethearts whose love transcended time. Instead, their marriage is a bad reality show with flaws displayed for the world to see, and it’s all his fault. He messed up. Big time. Now days before Christmas, she has a decision to make. Miranda isn’t the type to forgive and forget—this nice country girl has to be more cunning than that. They say all is fair in love and war. Let’s find out if that’s true as Miranda puts Chuck to the test. The best revenge is living happy and that’s what she plans to do. Player Substitution is a Holiday Hockey Romance and is intended for a mature audience. A change of underwear may be required.

University freshman, Carly Saint, has a chip on her shoulder and a past that’s off limits, but even the toughest woman can’t say no to Theo Montagne, the NHL’s rising star. She thought she knew everything about the famous hockey player from what she’d seen on TV. Except a chance encounter with the smoking hot centreman isn’t at all what she expected. When the blizzard of the century forces them to seek shelter to survive, she discovers how different he is from any man she’s ever met. Theo has certain naughty ideas of how they can spend their time in isolation, and Carly’s defensive game crumbles against the league’s top scorer. But when the snow tapers, their newly formed bond and lives will be put to the test. Each book in the Puck Battle series features a different couple and can be read as a standalone. HEA guaranteed.
