About This Book
When a billionaire sets out to secretly purchase a professional hockey team and relocate it to Seattle, the last complication he needs is falling for the woman who unknowingly holds the keys to his plan. Ethan Parker goes undercover as a consultant, armed with charm and ambition — until Lauren Schneider, a sharp, underestimated hockey insider starving for professional respect, starts trusting him with exactly the kind of access that could unravel everything. The tension here isn't just romantic; it's built on competing loyalties, hidden agendas, and the question of whether two people can want each other and still do the right thing.
Jami Davenport writes with a light, confident touch that keeps pages turning without sacrificing emotional depth. The hockey world feels genuinely inhabited rather than used as wallpaper — the internal politics, the locker room hierarchies, Lauren's hard-won credibility among skeptical colleagues — all of it grounds the romance in something real. At just over two hundred pages, the story is tightly constructed, never padded, and the chemistry between leads earns its payoff. It's a quick read that doesn't feel slight.
