Known as the team loner, Riggs Nadeau gives his all on the ice, but nothing extra off it. A beautiful stranger is about to cause chaos in his very structured world.
As a professional hockey player, people think I live a charmed life. On the surface, I do. But they don’t know the horrors of my childhood, or the real reason that I have custody of my seventeen-year-old sister, Janelle. And that’s exactly the way I like it. They may think I’m a prick because I don’t like to share, but that’s fine. They don’t know me, and they don’t need to.
In an effort to help Janelle get settled in Phoenix and stay out of trouble at school, I set her up with a job at Clarke’s Corner, the local bookstore owned by the girlfriend of a teammate. It’s there that she makes friends with Veronica Woodley, the extremely annoying, arrogant, money-hungry divorcee who I don’t want anywhere near my sister. Janelle insists I’m completely wrong about Veronica, but I refuse to accept that. I have to keep reminding myself that that the gorgeous blond with legs for days is off limits.
Through a series of events, I start to see Veronica for what she really is—an amazing woman who has survived her own hell to come out even stronger. I have to admit, we’re more alike than not and the attraction between us burns hot.
Maybe I was all wrong about my ability to love and commit, but when the past comes back to haunt me, can I be the man that Veronica, and Janelle, deserve?

Professional hockey player Riggs got custody of his teenage sister and things aren't going as smoothly as he hoped. To keep her busy an out of trouble he gets his sister to work at a book store which seems to be working better then expected. Problem is she seems to be getting close to Veronica who seems to have landed herself a cash cow when divorcing her ex which seems a bit sketchy. While tryin to keep them apart Riggs learns that there is more to Veronica then his assumptions.
This was a pretty great book I really enjoyed it. I loved seeing how caring Riggs was while you can see his guarded from those around him you can see how much love and care he has for his sister. With a past like his and his younger sister no wonder they both are a bit guarded and seen as a bit of trouble. Then there is Veronica who is also seen in a different light but there are reasons and I liked seeing Riggs proven wrong but also seeing them fall for one another. I loved seeing the siblings open up more to eachother and try harder to work with one another Riggs sister just wasn't another bratty teen and it was interesting seeing how they worked things out. Overall this was a pretty great book I really enjoyed reading it.
