Sugar's addicting. So is she. Graham Davis has two addictions: Hockey-and Gracie Daniels. (Not that he knows it yet.) At St. Brown University, Gracie Daniels is the golden girl. Blonde ponytail, perfect smile, always saying yes. So when she's asked to manage PR for the hockey team, she agrees-hoping to help thaw their notoriously icy captain. But Graham Davis doesn't melt. He's distant, guarded, and doesn't need help from a pink-sweater-wearing perfectionist... until he starts noticing things he shouldn't. Skipped meals. Covered bruises. Flinches too small to be accidental. Gracie is sweet, bright, and hiding more than anyone knows. And Graham can't stop looking.

A one-night stand turns into a high-stakes game of survival when a dental hygienist becomes the secret lucky charm of a grumpy goalie. -------------------- One night, fake names, and no strings was supposed to be my escape. Now, I'm the last hope for a pro hockey goalie who thinks I'm some lucky charm capable of flipping his abysmal season. As a Type 1 Diabetic, numbers govern my life: glucose levels, carb counts, and the low balance of my bank account. I moved to San Francisco for a fresh start, not to become the "lucky charm" of a professionally notorious grump. After our steamy, anonymous night, I did the sensible thing: I ran. But the universe flexes a cruel sense of humor. My new job as dental assistant for the San Francisco Bears' pro-hockey team puts me face-to-face-and finger-to-mouth-with the man I can't forget. Connor Schmidt's convinced I'm the cure to his career-worst slump. He's closed-off, stubborn, and way too hot for my professional safety. I need this job to survive. Literally. But with the coach hunting for "distractions" to fire, and Connor refusing to let me go, I'm stuck in a game I can't afford to lose. He's playing for redemption. I'm playing for my life. And the more we lose ourselves in his "luck-with-benefits agreement," the more falling for him is the most reckless thing I've ever done. 18 + for explicit sexual content #1 sports, #1 spicy, #1 sweet, #1 chicklit, #1 contemporaryromance #1 hockeyplayer, #1 maturethemes #36 romance Story is complete.

My mouth dropped open in shock, the words sticking to my tongue like molasses. Adonis's smirk grew wider, his eyes gleaming with mischief. He knew. But he didn't know everything. If anyone saw us outside, one could assume Roman was my boyfriend and Levi was a close friend. His threat was solid, but how could I give in so easily. "What are you talking about?" I blurted out, my voice shaking slightly. But the lie was a poorly stitched patch on a tattered dress. Adonis stepped closer, his breath hot on my neck as he leaned in. "Come back to me and your little secret remains as such." ➿➿➿➿➿➿➿➿➿➿➿➿➿➿➿➿➿➿➿➿➿➿➿➿➿➿➿➿➿➿➿ Alina Collier never thought she would ever see the kinky side of her life ignited.
