    Former hockey star Declan Dash loves to play the game, and the one with his friend's little sister, Violet Spears? He plans to win . . . 
     
     
     
    Running into your brother's billionaire ex-hockey-playing best friend at a special kind of party should have been a red flag. Pulling one another's names from a bowl at said party was a coincidence. Having a wild night together that we said we'd forget was probably our mistake. Especially when Declan shows up weeks later as the new owner of the hockey team that practices in Lake Spark, and he has an offer for me. 
     
     
     
    Meet him every day in his hotel room for a week to enjoy a little fling while he passes through town. 
     
     
     
    Yep, I stupidly agree. But the man has a few talents, and I need to take a lunch break from my flower shop anyway. Except, our timeline gets extended and the game Declan plays doesn't come with a rule book. The lines between us get blurry. My brother will go through the roof if he ever finds out that his friend laid a finger on me, but it's my heart that feels fragile because I can't figure out if we have a future or if I'm just a big game where he's been waiting to score . . . 
     
     
     
    Contains mature themes.
