BLURB
In Sophia Henry’s blistering
follow-up to Delayed Penalty, hailed as “sexy, fun, and full of angst” by L. P.
Dover, a good girl and a hockey hunk face off against expectations—and this
match is guaranteed to see plenty of action.
Beneath her innocent facade,
Gabriella Bertucci has her reasons to be standoffish with guys. Especially guys
like Landon Taylor, a star defenseman on the minor-league Detroit Pilots and
the object of a serious crush since he first walked into her family’s market.
But when Landon comes through for her in a moment of crisis, Gaby starts to
wonder if there might be more to Landon than hard muscles and fast skates.
Landon isn’t afraid of telling
Gaby that he’s got it for her bad. The problem is, she seems unwilling to
believe it. And though Landon enjoys his reputation as a cool-headed athlete,
he hates losing—both on the rink and off. It’s his competitiveness that makes
him so damn good at what he does . . . but it also makes him just a little bit
complicated.
One minute Gaby’s tempted to give
in; the next, she’s getting cold feet. How can she trust a guy who’s destined
for bigger and better things to stick around? Then again, when Landon pulls her
close with those powerful arms, the only thing that matters is right now.

Intro:
Gaby works at a store that Landon’s family have been patrons at for years, so
they’ve known each other on a friendly level. In the second chapter, Landon
tries to prove to Gaby that he isn’t a stranger. They have a natural, easy way
with each other and great banter. This is a scene with a fun exchange between
Gaby and Landon. This snippet comes from end of the scene after Gaby grills
Landon with questions—all of which he answers correctly.

“How did you know that?” I glanced past him. A slight movement outside the door had caught my eye, but no customers walked through.
“How did you know that?” I glanced past him. A slight movement outside the door had caught my eye, but no customers walked through.
“Told
you we weren’t strangers.”
“You’re
creeping me out. Seriously.” I thought I held the championship belt for scary
stalker. At least I had a reason: Landon Taylor, my vote for sexiest man alive
and hottest hockey player in the AHL. But there was no reason for him remember
random facts about me. “I’m not—anything.”
“Or
maybe you’re everything.”
“What?”
My brain didn’t have the capacity to wrap itself around everything going on
right now. My dad had a heart attack. My crush alludes to me being
everything—whatever that means. Can’t think. Storage limit maxed out.
“I
pay attention when it comes to you, Gaby.”
“But
why?” Surreal couldn’t even begin to describe this moment.
“You
were my first kiss.” After sprinkling that confusing seed in my head, Landon
spun around and walked out. Through the front window, I watched him thread his
fingers together behind his head and raise them toward the clouds in a stretch
as he disappeared from my line of sight.
