The Penalty Box Heart
He's the Vandal of the NHL. She's the girl hired to clean up
his mess. But some secrets are too dirty for a PR fix.
Vance Volkov is the most hated man in professional hockey.
He's a walking penalty, a locker-room pariah, and a man with
a sneer that could freeze a puck mid-air. He doesn't want to be
"humanized," he doesn't want to be filmed, and he definitely
doesn't want the Coach's daughter following him with a
camera and a smile that makes him want to break his "no emotions"
rule.
Sunny Davenport is a ray of light in a league of shadows. To
save her career and her father's legacy, she has thirty days to
turn the league's biggest villain into a hero. She expects a
challenge. She expects a fight. She doesn't expect to find a man
who drinks tea in the dark, hides a heartbreaking secret, and
looks at her like she's the only thing keeping him from
shattering.
Between secret cabin getaways and stolen kisses in the tunnel,
the line between "public relations" and "private desire"
disappears.
But in a world of high stakes and cold ice, the truth is the most
dangerous play of all. When the cameras stop rolling and the
masks come off, will they survive the fallout? Or is their love
just another stay in the penalty box?
