Discover the story that launched the international bestselling Jacksonville Rays Hockey Series.

I can't fall for a player, let alone three.

My name is Rachel Price, and two months ago, I walked away from the perfect man. We shared one magical night. No names. No strings. I never thought I'd see him again. I was wrong.

It turns out my perfect man is actually the playboy grinder for the Jacksonville Rays, the NHL's hottest new hockey team...and I'm his new physical therapist.

This fellowship is going to be the longest ten months of my life. Mr. Perfect will do anything to get back on my good side. Meanwhile, his best friend, the surly new equipment manager, is always riding my case. Worst of all, I've got an uncooperative goalie who thinks I can't tell he's hiding an injury!

These men are ready to test my limits, but this is my chance to prove myself, and I'm not risking it for anything. I can't fall for a player, let alone three. But if love is a game, these guys are playing to win.
