One night with the enemy player next door… now he’s calling me his wife.

Seven years ago, we shared a night. The next morning, he didn’t remember. Now, I’m a journalist working my way up the news media ladder when my best friend’s moody brother moves in next door. And now an endless parade of rowdy hockey bros stroll our shared hall. He’s mister tattooed and dangerous. The Houston Heatwave's top defender. And the actual bane of my existence. An injury on the ice has me playing nurse for one night. But when he asks me to marry him for convenience, I know he bumped his head too hard. He needs a wife to fulfill an inheritance clause to save his family’s legacy. I need intel on his hockey team; my career depends on it. So I wear the Heatwave team jersey—with his name on it. Soon, I’m falling into this bad boy’s bed, and we’re both scoring. But Zane O’Connor’s scars are hidden. And I have secrets of my own. If he finds out, we could lose it all—and Houston, we’d have a real problem. Damaged Defender is a spicy marriage of convenience pro hockey romance. It’s the second book in the Houston Heatwave series and can be enjoyed as a standalone with a guaranteed happily ever after for our enemies turned lovers. Contains mature content. A complete list of content warnings can be found on the author's website.
