I hate hockey. He hates everything else... including me. Falling flat on my back in a sweaty locker room isn't how I planned to introduce myself to my grandpa's hockey team. Especially when I'm there to turn the business around financially; something nobody else in the stadium seems to want. But that's how I first meet Eli Salinger, the team's aggravatingly smooth player-turned coach. And from the moment I introduce myself to him, he makes it clear he doesn't want me there. It doesn't take a genius to work out why. Eli's only interested in one thing - turning the team into a winning side, no matter what it takes. And he's determined to fight every change I try to make. What he doesn't know is that I've never taken on a project that hasn't succeeded. And I'm not about to let this be the first. I don't care if he's grumpy and adorable in equal measure. Or that every time he looks at me it sends me all a flutter. This is a game of wits. And there can be only one winner. Strictly For Now is a standalone, steamy opposites-attract hockey romance featuring an over-40s hero, a strong, professional heroine and a love match that will make you smile and swoon.
