Keelan Storm Broken (Breaker Ridge) Book 2 of 3: Breaker Ridge

 

IZZY DONOVAN was the breath in my lungs and my most torturous temptation.
The girl no guy could get. Except for me.
And one other.
I’d held my distance from her as long as I could, desperate not to ruin her life, but now, it may be too late.
Every reason that kept me from her before was rolling in, trampling over her life and her dreams, and I had no one to blame but myself. I’d promised to keep her safe, and I was failing. But I couldn’t pull away, not if I didn’t want to lose us.
Losing us meant losing everything, and even when tragedy struck, I knew…
I WOULD PROTECT HER, PROTECT US, AT ALL COSTS.

Sienna Judd Perfect Playbook Book 4 of 4: Starlight Canyon

 

Sometimes the worst in life brings your next best thing.

I heard of Shay Mendez before I met her. She baked. Was reportedly grumpy. Loved her big family. And had sinful curves she kept most men away from with her moody gaze.

We had little in common, except for the most important thing…

At college, Shay and I locked eyes in a grief support group. Both away from Starlight Canyon, she was the anchor I badly needed to keep me from floating away into darkness. My first girlfriend was my polar opposite, but everything I ever needed. Sadly, fate didn’t agree.

After years apart, with me in the NHL and her becoming a single mom, I run into Shay in Vegas of all places. A hundred teardrops, a dozen shots and two wedding rings later, we wake up in the morning married. Much like back in college, Shay and I have a lot to offer one another.

That morning in Vegas we write the perfect playbook for our fake marriage, orchestrating it right through the final buzzer. But I won’t let it end the way she thinks it does.

This time, I win.

Starlight Canyon is full of strong, alphas and steamy nights. This second chance features a determined heroine and a reformed playboy hockey player who never stopped thinking of the one who got away.

Troy Castelli acts like it’s my fault that we’re cooped up together in a room with one bed overlooking the ocean. I didn’t ask for a stalker to break into my house and then send me a threatening email detailing my demise.

A paid tropical vacation with a grumpy, gray-eyed bad boy in a suit isn’t exactly a burden.

But it is a giant test of my willpower.
