Publisher's Synopsis
Stella Hart is the hottest thing in country music. For ten years, she's been Nashville's darling. She's pure, sweet, and a positive role model in an industry rife with scandals, sex, and sequins. Men want to own her, women want to be her-everyone wants a piece of her, and Stella? Well, she wants out. As the center for the Calgary Crushers, Van Ross isn't afraid of the spotlight, but he doesn't much like it either. Despite his reputation as a player, the NHL's bad boy lives for only two things: the game, and his younger brother. That's why when he comes across a country music superstar seeking refuge at his home in the Canadian Rockies, he's not too happy with the media shitstorm this surprise houseguest brings. With a nationwide manhunt, paparazzi dogging their every move, producers of a reality TV show baying for blood, and a record label desperate to see their "good girl" returned safely home, Van and Stella's lives are snowballing out of control. While Van would like nothing more than to show the purest of them all how well he handles his er ... stick, Stella is no puck bunny. Nor is she as innocent as she'd have the world believe. With chemistry like theirs, tension runs high on and off the ice, but the end game is the same for both players: line up the puck, take the shot, and score. If only their hearts understood the play. Puck fame and fortune. Puck right and wrong. Puck love.
