Playing Hard

Shannon Wiley is no stranger to competition-or the fallout from being one of the best. She's been playing ice hockey all her life and is now the goalie for the newly-formed Chesapeake Blades-and she's no stranger to playing in a man's world. She's more than capable of taking care of herself and she certainly doesn't need a man...but wouldn't it be great if she could find a partner? Someone who accepted her for herself instead of running scared? Caleb Johnson is the star winger for the Baltimore Banners. A charming ladies' man, he's never met a challenge he couldn't handle...until meeting Shannon Wiley. Strong-willed and outspoken, she's like no other woman he's ever met. The more time he spends with her, the more he wants to be with her. But is it the challenge he wants-or Shannon herself? The battle of the sexes quickly heats up between these two talented and head-strong people-on and off the ice. But will they both learn that there's more on the line than just winning when hearts become involved?
