The Hockey Player's Hardest Challenge

A successful business, a beautiful condo, good friends, and Betty, the spoiled dog who takes over a king-sized bed, are exactly the life she wants.

Experience has taught her to keep relationships at a distance, allowing a little fun while refusing commitment.

Jayden Wood disrupts that balance after their dogs nearly tangle their leashes in the park, bringing a charming pro hockey player—and the chaos of his struggling team—into her carefully arranged days.

Their paths continue to cross at the coffee shop, in the park, and around the city, encounters he calls fate and she finds impossible to escape.

Drawn to competition, Jayden decides she is his next challenge and is determined to prove she is not as hard to get as she pretends.
