Shikamaru and Temari, two shinobi bound by duty and pride, carefully play a game that never seems to end with their growing feelings. Hiding them beneath strategy meetings, sarcastic remarks, and stolen glances. But when a rogue ninja crosses paths with Temari during her travels, and mystery creeps in from the Fire Daimyō's court. Both Konoha and Suna are forced to reevaluate more than just their alliance. Amid whispers of danger and desire, Shikamaru and Temari must decide if they'll continue to hide behind duty or risk it all for something real.

When photography student, Willow Kennedy, gets offered an internship with her college's renowned ice hockey team, The Michigan Wolverines, she anticipates three things: 1) Her twin brother being an unbearable and over-protective nightmare. 2) Her photographs not making any real impact whatsoever. 3) The team completely shutting out the curly-haired girl pointing a camera in their faces. What Willow didn't take into account, however, was the Wolverine's team captain. Rumoured NHL first draft pick, dreamboat and total game changer- Tate Wilder. With his infectious dimpled smile, sparkling green eyes and addictive personality, Tate quickly turns Willow's internship into a life-changing and eye-opening experience- one filled with love, friendship and opportunities. Willow didn't meet the Michigan Wolverines looking for love, and funnily enough neither did Tate, but love soon found them. ********* "Pretty please?"

The smile I get in response is absolutely blinding. A full, mega-watt grin with teeth, crinkled eyes and blush on the apples of her cheek. I'll let her win everything if I get that fucking smile in return.

Getting Temari pregnant isn't on the list of 200 moves planned ahead by Konoha's Greatest Tactician, Nara Shikamaru. -------- Hello!

A man took advantage of Temari, and four years later, her son meets the man that she has liked since the day she met him. Unknown to her though, her son had made an application to find a father, and said man filled it out. There is a bit of sexual content, but not real explicit.
