The Definition of Icing

Chocolate is the only way to this confectioner's heart—until a gorgeous hockey player becomes her man candy . . . Fresh from studying chocolate making in Europe, Kenley Hunter is ready to build her own business, Confection Consultations. Sinful truffles and exotic chocolates are her only passion—as the idea of romance is about as appealing as a piece of stale candy. A natural beauty, Kenley has been judged more often for her appearance than anything she's accomplished, but people respect her knowledge and wizardry with chocolate—focusing on the delights she serves rather than what she looks like. Throwing herself into her career allows her to avoid romance—as her biggest fear is that once a man gets past her beauty, he will be disappointed in what he will find. When sexy hockey player Nate Johansson defends Kenley's desire to be herself in a photoshoot—by ripping off his jersey and volunteering to be the eye candy a magazine is trying to force her to be—her plans to avoid romance begin to fall like a bad souffle. Will Kenley be brave enough to take a chance on romance with Nate? Or will fears of the past freeze this game of love before the puck is dropped?
