Guarded by the Goalie

"To new identities," he declares, holding up his glass. "To no more epic f-ups. No more partying for me. No more athletes for you. Not until we get it together."

Little did I know that the night I made the deal with the tattooed, pierced, star goalie in the back room of a bar, that we were starting something--something we can't stop. Except he's on probation, and I'm looking to change my reputation as a jersey chaser willing to do whatever it took to win the quarterback's attention.

We needed to change-but neither of us thought we could do it alone.

But with Axel Rakestraw's charming smile, it's a good thing hockey player's aren't my thing.

And even if they were, my roommate, who dates the captain of the team, told me that hockey players are off-limits. She's probably right. People around me tend to get hurt.

I tend to get hurt.

Protecting things is what I do. The goal, my teammates, and now this girl.

I've spent the last four years living my best life, knowing that once I graduate, my future belongs to my father's ministry. No more partying. No more women. No more hockey.

With my senior year and an undefeated season underway, I had no plans on slowing down, until the night I unwittingly consume a drink meant for Nadia at a party. The next day I fail a mandatory drug test at practice.

Someone is out to sabotage us both.

I can take care of myself, but Nadia? I'm not allowing someone to hurt her again, not on my watch.

Can one of Wittmore U's most notorious playboy's and a blacklisted jersey chaser change their ways long enough to fall in love?
