Play With Me

Garrett Andersen plays professional hockey and takes the team's rules seriously. One of them gives him trouble: keep away from the captain's younger sister. Around her he forgets how to finish a sentence.

The sister is Jennie Beckett, a professional dancer who is as confident and bold as her brother and answers to no one about her own pleasure. After several embarrassing run-ins she would happily steer clear of Garrett. Then he becomes her neighbor, and avoiding him stops being an option.

The pull between them grows, and they agree to keep it light: fun, no strings, nothing serious. Both have packed schedules, and her brother would not approve, so a casual, low-key arrangement looks like the smartest choice. Neither is sure it will stay that way once feelings start to interfere.

This is a contemporary sports romance in the brother's-teammate vein, with a forbidden-attraction setup and a no-strings arrangement that gets complicated. It is the second book in the Playing for Keeps series. The tone is playful and flirtatious, the heat is high, and the banter carries a good share of the story.
