Nashville Devils Omnibus Part 2
Broody Devil
The last thing I need is a wife. Especially if it's the one woman who can't stand me.
I'm the bad boy of the NHL. The enforcer with a mean punch and bad attitude. The ladies don't seem to mind and my stick is always ready to go. So, I have a few scandals. Who doesn't?
Everything was fine until she clicked into my life with her hot pink Barbie heels. After one too many tabloid exploits, my career is in jeopardy, and she demands I clean up my act.
Dirty Devil
Pretending to be a hot hockey player's girlfriend shouldn't be a problem.
Except when that player is my brother's teammate, Foster Craig, with the body of a god and a British accent that melts the panties straight off my lady bits. Did I mention that I might have a teeny crush on him?
Bossy Devil
There's absolutely no way I'd ever work for my ex-boyfriend. Besides, the only thing he needs help with is pulling the stick from his perfectly sculpted backside.
Gordon Benson is the one man I never wanted to see again. He's grumpy, antagonistic, and so irritatingly more attractive than he was 12 years ago. Those biceps, that muscular chest, those dark green eyes that still manage to get me all twisted up...it's not fair.
I broke up with him. He demolished my heart. End of story.
Or at least it was until I ran into him after a figure skating gig. And then his sister offered me a job as their executive assistant -a job I didn't need until the company I worked for went bankrupt.
So, here I am, selling my soul to the actual Devil to make sure me and my daughter are taken care of. The daughter who shares his DNA and yet he acts like she doesn't exist. I keep telling myself this job is only temporary, that I'll find something else, but the more I stay here, the more the Nashville Devils feel like family.
And maybe there's more to Gordon than insults and a prickly exterior. Maybe he's not quite the villain I made him out to be but there's still too much at stake. He could lose his hockey team and I could lose the only thing I have left. My heart.
