Love wasn't in her playbook. But Vitaly Antonov was rewriting the rules.

Vitaly Antonov has carved his own path out of his brother's shadow. Being the professional hockey league's most sought-after goalie had its perks. Too bad his agent's sister, Jacelyn Shannon, wasn't one of them. At least not yet.

Jacelyn Shannon had learned long ago she was better off depending on herself. Being everything for everyone else was okay. But she stayed solid and solitary. Jacelyn had no desire to link her life with anyone else. Too bad Vitaly Antonov isn't just anyone.

They come together in a whirlwind. Reality rears its head almost as quickly. While they navigate the dynamics of their new relationship, Jacelyn's former life threatens their future. But, Vitaly won't allow anyone to get in the way of their happiness.
