Neutral Zone Kisses

No more watching from the sidelines—she's mine.

The first time I meet Mia Wells, the sizzling chemistry between us is immediate, and impossible to ignore. Mia draws me in with a quiet confidence that both unnerves and enthralls me. But she makes one thing clear: she isn't looking for a relationship.

I try to respect her boundaries and bury my feelings deep. Then I spot Mia on a date with someone else, and every carefully guarded line I've been skating along shatters. The careful control I’ve been maintaining evaporates and I realize I'm done playing it safe. Done pretending I don't want her with every fiber of my being.

Now I'm ready to pull out all the stops to convince Mia that these feelings brewing between us are worth taking a chance on. It’s time to move this relationship out of the neutral zone.

One look at Mick McLinden, captain of the Seattle Knights, and I know I'm in big freaking trouble. He turns my heart inside out and upside down. But I resist the pull because he's everything I should avoid. So I do the only sensible thing and tell him I'm not looking for a relationship.

I try to convince myself I mean it. I focus on my nursing shifts, my friends, and building a life that doesn't revolve around a man who looks at me like I'm the only thing that matters. I even agree to a blind date, determined to prove to myself that I can move on from feelings I'm not supposed to have.

But when Mick shows up on my doorstep after seeing me with someone else, every wall I've built comes crashing down. He's done fighting his feelings, and suddenly, so am I. The careful distance I've maintained shatters under the heat of his touch, and I realize I've been lying to myself all along. The feelings between us are too powerful to keep in the friend zone.

Neutral Zone Kisses is an addictive, fast-burning insta-love hockey romance where sometimes the best defense is complete surrender.

These women know exactly what they want, and they are determined to give these pampered playboys a serious run for their money. Pucks will fly, tempers will flare, and hearts will definitely get checked against the boards.

Lace up your skates and get ready to fall in love. The Seattle Knights are about to learn that when it comes to curvy women with a sharp tongues coming in second just isn’t an option.
