Skipping Christmas (Real Men #9)

Let the games begin.
He’s adored by women– and men –all over the world. The raw, gritty, star NHL forward, Dante Knight.

But life changed abruptly, a year ago. Now Dante’s no longer interested in the limelight, or in the panties strewn on the ice. With the same focus he applied to his stunning NHL career, he’s now interested in only one woman…

Kelley Dunham. The girl who loved him back when he was nobody.

It'll be easy, though, to go back to their little mountain community, and claim her. She's crazy for him, right?

***
Puppy love for the moody Dante consumed Kelly Dunham’s formative years. But she unravelled when the NHL hopeful abruptly left their tiny Canadian mountain town, after their first—and only—night together. She moved on, soul flaming from the shock. Worse, everyone knew.

Time for a change.

After a series of disappointments, she's done. Now she’s ready for the playgirl life. Stupid Dante had the right idea, way back, and she’s going to adopt his credo. Sex for nothin’ and her men for free.

But when Dante reappears in a blizzard and they’re snowed in, and he’s finally ready to be the man she always knew he could be…

She stands firm. Nothing’s changing her new-found mission.

Let the games begin.
