The Grinder

He goes in deep and makes the plays...

Riley Hatch is a fast-talking minor-league hockey player with a reputation as a grinder. He goes in deep, hits hard and comes out with the puck. He's not known for giving up and, when he meets a cool blonde who trips all his switches, he's not about to take no for an answer.

She's not going to fall for his game...

Aly Martin's aversion to professional athletes falters when faced with the six-foot-four hockey god towering over her. He's everything she never wanted in a man: overtly sexy, rough around the edges and pushy. And absolutely irresistible. Riley falls hard and fast but he knows he's going to need more than determination to break down Aly's reservations. But will his lifelong dream of making it to the NHL cost him the woman of his dreams?
