Being 'The King' of the ice has always given me status that only serves to stimulate my well-trained ego. I'm the toughest bad boy of the Falls Creek Falcons. I do anything I want. Say anything I want. And get whoever I want. But when I'm pulled by a curvy bombshell at the hockey team's Awards Gala dinner, my head is turned. She's incredible. Beauty like I've never seen before. Not to mention her perfect figure. Her plus-size curves are driving me wild. What the hell is this burning desire to claim her simmering deep inside me? Shit. I'm feeling things I've never felt before. There's just one problem - she's a single mom. Her entire life is devoted to protecting her daughter. She's not about to expose innocent eyes to a troubled soul like mine. I finally get a night to myself. Being a single mom is hard. All I do is work, school drop off and cook the same old meals. Rinse and repeat. Over and over again. It's only getting tougher as my sweet little angel grows, but for one night, I'm granting myself to leave all that behind. One. Night. Only. I'm guided by my best friend to a work function swimming with eligible hockey superstars. With my hair flowing, I'm quickly drawn to the dark eyes scowling at me from across the room. His tattoos should serve as a warning, so should his scars. He's trouble, and I need to stay away. But I can't. I don't want to.
