I'm not the hero in this story.

I'm the villain...

The notoriously angry, grouchy, D.C. Eagles defenseman that just can't keep his temper in check. The temper that leads to a fifteen game suspension from the NHL.

As if that's not bad enough, I'm forced into a short term youth-hockey coaching gig. Which my manager swears will "rebuild my image."

But what I didn't expect was for a gorgeous, spunky blonde to stomp onto the ice on day one and lecture me about being rude to her little brother.

Something about this spitfire of a woman, and the boy she's so protective of, has my defenses melting.

And if I'm not careful, I'll burst into flames, forever melting the ice I've carefully kept around my heart.

(This is a fade-to-black romance with mild language. Desire or Defense is a dual POV, interconnected standalone.Trigger warnings include: parental substance abuse & dealing with grief/loss of parents.)
