Buttoned-up
accountant Jack Bannister lives an uncomplicated life until his teenage crush
moves back into the house next door…all grown up and sexy as hell. Murphy Ryan
is still wild and reckless, and danger has followed her to Colorado. Jack
will do whatever it takes to protect her, even it means letting her go…again.
Murphy
Ryan is focused on building a new NHL women’s hockey team. But staying on her
game is hard with the distraction, and the memories, of the hot nerd in the
house next door. Jack Bannister had been her first kiss, and she wants him to
be her last. With his dry humor and sexy glasses, being smart never looked so
good.
Jack’s
been given a chance to win back the one that got away, but worries this
gorgeous hockey player is still out of his league. He’s kept his heart on ice,
but now that Murphy’s back, she might be the one to finally thaw it.

I love...hockey, humor, and heart!" - Kristin Miller- New

His
eyes widened, and he swallowed, his Adam’s apple bobbing in his throat. Frozen
in place, he only stared at her as he labored to breathe.
“Are
you okay? Do you need your inhaler?”
“Yes.
No. Wait.” He pulled in a deep breath. “I’m okay. It’s just that I’ve thought
about this so many times. Dreamed of what it would be like. But I never
imagined it would be like this. You’re a goddess. You literally take my breath away.”
Oh.
My. Gosh.
Her
heart ached at the pure honesty of his words.
He
shook his head, letting out an embarrassed sigh. “Sorry. That’s pretty nerdy,
huh? It’s gotta be so sexy to take your top off and have a guy have an asthma
attack just from looking at you.”
If you only knew.
She
sat up, pressing him back against the sofa as she straddled his lap. Pushing
his hair off his forehead, she gazed into his eyes, trying to match his
sincerity. “You just told me that seeing me half naked literally took your breath away. That’s actually sexy as hell.”
A
grin tugged at the corner of his lips. A grin so cute that she couldn’t help
but smile back.
“Jack
Bannister. You are like no man that I have ever known. I’m sitting topless in
your lap, and instead of mauling me, we’re grinning like loons.”
His
smile widened. “I know. It’s ridiculous. I want to maul you. Well, I mean I
want to everything you. It’s not like
I’m normally a real suave guy or anything. But holy hell, when I’m around you,
I feel like a gawky teenage boy again that’s never kissed a girl and is
completely transfixed by an amazing pair of breasts.” His gaze flicked down to
her chest and color brightened his cheeks. “I don’t even know what to do with
my hands.”
She
cocked an eyebrow at him. “Amazing, huh?”
He
nodded. “Spectacular.”
His
words made her bold, the way he looked at her bringing out her brazen side.
“How about this—how about if you stop worrying about what you’re not doing and
let’s focus on what we could be doing.” She pushed off his lap and shimmied out
of her pajama bottoms.
Reveling
in the sharp pull of his breath, she stood before him, wearing only a tiny pair
of white lace thong panties. Even though she worked out consistently, no amount
of skating could shave off the extra curve of her hips. But tonight she didn’t
care.
He’d
just told her that he thought she had the body of a goddess. Leaning forward,
she took his hand and pulled him up to stand in front of her. “And don’t worry,
I have plenty of ideas for what you can do with your hands.”
