Bodychecking


Book Description

As the wild child of the family, Bellani Maxwell isn't interested in settling down. Between a fledgling party crashing business, teaching self-defense at a martial arts studio, and hitting the bar every night, she has her hands full. She doesn't need the added responsibility or commitment of a relationship. Hockey star Cedric Pederson has all the puck bunnies he could ever want, but a chance encounter eighteen months ago leaves him with eyes only for the gorgeous, free-spirited Bella. Too bad she isn't interested in what Cedric has to offer beyond frequent hookups, and he's grown tired of their on-again, off-again non-relationship. He wants to be all-in or all-out. When a brutal attack leaves Bella in need of comfort, protection, and healing, the only person she wants is Cedric. But once she's living in his condo, Bella is confronted with a decision she's been avoiding-can she finally commit to Cedric, or will she let him go one last time?

It's time to lick my wounds, re-examine my role, and come to terms with demons I've been avoiding for too long. I buy an RV and take to the wilderness for a little solitude and lot of soul-searching. Just me, my dog Bones, and nature. There's one problem. My campsite neighbor is a too-cheerful, busy-body camp host.

Usually I'm quite good at fixing problems and assisting campers until I meet the hot, grumpy hockey player next door. He claims he wants to be left alone; but after one look at his lost expression, I'm certain that's the last thing he needs. To complicate things, we have chemistry, the kind which blazes past all misgivings and singes everyone in sight.
