Levi Casco and Jude Braddock are the dynamic duo for the San Francisco Thunder hockey team. They're some of the highest paid, best performing players in the NHL and on the verge of leading their team to back-to-back Stanley Cups. Although they work perfectly together on the ice and are compatible teammates, off the ice they couldn't be more different. Levi is serious, rational, emotionless. Jude is brash, impetuous, lecherous and a live wire emotionally. But then Levi runs into Tessa, Jude's only serious ex-girlfriend, and he was front row center when they broke up eleven months ago. Tessa is also the object of Levi's secret fantasies. With Jude out of the picture, he and Tessa give in to their lust. It's just fun, it's just lust... until they realize it isn't. By then Jude has realized Tessa is back in town and he's trying to win her back. But is Jude really a changed man? Does Levi love Tessa enough to fight for her? Even if it costs him professionally? And who does Tessa really want?

"I blew through this book in just over a day. Not because the story was an easy read, though it was. I could not put this book down! The story and characters were so engaging that I kept wanting to see what happened next."--Up All Night Book Blog "The right mix of swoon, sex, humor and heartache-never too light, never too angsty. Ahh, those feel good moments had my face and my heart smiling, while those rocky moments had my brow furrowing and my blood pumping. Which made this book so very easy to get lost in. And get lost, I did. In Zoey, whose sometimes wavering strength felt very human. In Jude-to quote Zoey, Oh, Mylanta-who is reformed playboy perfection; a good guy underneath a messy outer shell. ...I loved this book...Book 2 can't come soon enough."--Panda and Boodle Book Reviews "A furiously hot romance with all the trimmings...I loved this book-obviously. If you like romances with heat and swagger, grab hold of this. It's great!"--It's About the Book blog "This bad boy hockey player is the best. His love of his family and the way he treats Zoey make him a perfect book boyfriend. This book moves along very quickly, so be warned you will have that feeling of the end of book sadness when you reach the final page."--Once Upon an Alpha "Sexy, sassy, and a perfect new adult read for fans who love hockey and romance, not necessarily in that order. An excellent new sports series launch." --Library Journal "Denault launches a new series, featuring the bad boys of the San Francisco Thunder, with gusto, passion and heaps of tension and sensual detail.
