I knew the consequences of stopping his twisted game, but I'd always stood up for ...

As captain for the Boston Blades, I've spent years working toward bringing home the Stanley Cup. But when the owners sell us out to Hollywood, suddenly we're not just playing for thousands of fans, we're cracking open our lives on Getting Pucked, a new reality show. I agree to sign the contract on one condition: They hire New England's reigning queen of media to call the shots. Holly Belliveaux Carter.

The job gets harder when I discover the black sheep of the pack was the sweetest, kindest guy I'd ever met and for some crazy reason my wolf couldn't get enough of him, no matter the dangers. The Alpha's womanizing bodyguard doesn't trust me from the start, and in the process of keeping a closer eye on ...
