Playing for Keeps - Paperback

by Nicole Crystal (Author)

Some games are played to win. Some are played for keeps.

He plays by instinct. She lives by the numbers. Together, they're about to rewrite the playbook.

Sienna Brooks doesn't do impulsive. As the daughter of sports agent powerhouse Ethan Brooks, she's built her career on careful analysis and strategic planning. After her ex publicly humiliated her, she added one more rule to her life: no athletes, ever.

Hockey captain Grayson Cole has spent his life carrying other people's burdens. With his NHL dreams hanging in the balance, the last thing he needs is a by-the-book analyst criticizing his game. Especially one whose sharp mind and sharper tongue make it impossible to focus.

When forced to work together to save his career, their explosive chemistry creates opportunities neither saw coming. But as secrets and old wounds threaten what they're building, they'll need to decide if love is worth risking everything they've worked for.

In this game, the heart doesn't follow the rules.
