Breaking barriers on the ice is just the start for a woman who craves so much more. Ranger Deacon can't believe his team's bad luck. First their season falls into a steep slump, then their number one goalie goes down with a knee injury. Morale is in the pits and the coach springs one outrageous development on them-a woman will be joining the team to finish out the remainder of the games. He's skeptical until he sees her play and loses a piece of his jaded heart in the process. Piper Darrow is a hockey prodigy, a goalie at the top of her game in the women's league. She's just finished a stellar year when the opportunity of a lifetime presents itself-becoming the first woman to play in the men's professional league. Plenty of obstacles stand in Piper's way, including acceptance from the fans, the players and even her own teammates. That, along with some hard hits from opponents, she can handle. It's the fierce desire she feels for Ranger that throws her for a loop. Playing a male-dominated sport is difficult enough without the additional challenge of falling for the captain of the team. Piper knows the score, is determined to get the job done, but can't help but wonder if there's more to Ranger than excellence on the ice.
Autorenporträt
Growing up in the Midwest, I began reading romance novels in high school, immediately falling in love with the genre, to the point where I decided to write professionally for a career. However, that dream splattered against a brick wall, resulting in a quick death in my first writing class in college when my professor told me bluntly that I wasn't any good at it. I shifted gears quickly, and left my writing dreams behind, eventually settling on becoming a nurse. A few years back, I stumbled across a fan-fiction writing site on a favorite author's webpage. I began to read stories others wrote, not only making some wonderful close friends from the experience, but also, really learning to write for the very first time. Here I was able to share short stories, practice my writing skills, and truly develop into a writer. More than that, the experience allowed me to revitalize my dream, as I rediscovered joy in writing. Now, I spend my days off with my alpha male characters, quick witted heroines, and see how much trouble everyone can get into. When I'm not working or writing, I enjoy working in the garden, canning, and seeing my backyard as a living canvas for my whimsical landscaping, and, of course, reading romance novels.
