Konstantin I grew up bleeding to survive, so getting paid to play the game of hockey is a life richer than I ever dreamed possible. I've got it all, or so I thought until meeting Lucy Cain. My teammate's sexy sister is a ray of sunshine in my otherwise gray world. Though fighting on the ice is second nature to me, in Lucy I've discovered something I've never had before-someone worth fighting for. But will she still want me when she sees the beast inside? Lucy I'm leaving my life behind. As soon as I get my brother back on his feet, I'll start over in a little seaside town to escape the dark secret I discovered about my ex. My plan hits a roadblock, though-a six-foot, inked up Russian one. My brother's teammate Konstantin is more likely to throw a punch than crack a smile, but once I slip beneath his stoic, steely façade, I never want to let him go. As my past closes in, though, Kon and I aren't just fighting for our future, but for our lives.
