Stand Your Ground: An Opposites Attract Hockey Romance (Kings of the Ice)

Carter Fabri, Tampa Bay's newest rising star hockey player, is inexperienced off the ice and seeks lessons in dominance and seduction. A woman offers to teach him under a legally binding contract: two million dollars in exchange for her time and expertise, with explicit terms covering sex and nothing more. The woman is thirty-two, estranged from her family, and burdened by student debt. She needs the money to maintain her lifestyle and save for a personal goal she has never shared with anyone. She establishes clear rules and boundaries for their arrangement. As Carter proves a quick learner and begins taking control, the dynamic shifts. What was meant to be a lesson in power becomes something neither anticipated. Despite her intention to keep her heart separate from the arrangement, unforeseen consequences emerge that no contract could have predicted. Stand Your Ground is the fifth book in the Kings of the Ice series, which consists of interconnected standalones following professional hockey players. The books can be read independently, though earlier titles contain references to future characters and couples.
