Boarded Hearts: A reformed playboy and single mom hockey romance (Seattle Scorpions Series Book 1)

A renowned NHL player with a reputation as a prolific playboy finds his carefully constructed image challenged when he meets Felicity Thompson, a woman who neither recognizes him nor shows interest in his advances. Despite his history of getting what he wants, she resists his pursuit with wit and a no-nonsense attitude. As he abandons his usual approach to win her affection, he begins to confront buried aspects of himself. What started as a desire to have her in his bed evolves into something deeper. The more he pursues her, the more his own defenses crumble. Felicity becomes not just what he wants, but what he needs—a realization that terrifies him, as it means he may not emerge from this situation on top as he always has before.
