Two career-driven leaders of the newest NHL team. His condo, her barely there robe, and a whole lot of hot sauce become a recipe for a simmering off-season.
Saylet As a woman in a male-dominated industry, I need to stay on top of my game as PR Director for the Tornadoes. So when my apartment building loses electricity during the playoffs, I don’t make waves. But the alternative is exhausting—sneaking in and out of the players lounge to sleep. When I’m caught by the sexiest player on the team, he offers me his guest room—and even better, a place to cook. Now, I have to remind myself hourly that my career is more important than jumping his very-convenient bones.
DrewMy entire focus is on securing a long-term NHL contract, in order to provide stability for my grandmother who raised me. As alternate captain, I’m constantly looking for ways to prove myself worthy of the title. So when the prettiest member of management needs a place to stay, I offer without thinking. But her hot-as-hell cooking and her teeny tiny robe are distractions I can’t afford and struggle to resist. Maybe what happens in the off-season can stay in the off-season.
