Aspen's Defense

To win a shot with his curvy girl, this hockey hunk will become her best line of defense.

Aspen: Leaving home was the best decision I ever made. Unfortunately, my older brother disagrees. He thinks I still need someone to look after me. I didn't expect him to send his former teammate to do his dirty work, though.

Noah Diamante, AHL superstar, won't leave me alone, and I like it a little too much. Especially the part where he saves my life from a madman. Now, he swears I'm never getting rid of him.

But does he mean it . . . or am I just a favor to him?

Noah: If anyone had told me that coffee would change my life, I would have laughed. Right up until I set eyes on Aspen Whatley at the local coffee shop, anyway. She's everything right in this world. But she's a little spitfire, hellbent on taking on the world by herself. Knowing her brother wants me to keep an eye on her doesn't earn me any points.

Until her life is on the line, and she has nowhere to turn. Now, she's looking over her shoulder, and I'm pissed about it. No one threatens what belongs to me. But I've been playing defense my entire life. I'll protect this goddess and make her mine. You can bet on that.
