Christmas on Ice: A Forbidden Christmas Hockey Romance With the Team Owner's Daughter (Steel City Knights #2)

She's the new general manager who swore she'd never date a player.

He's the cocky goaltender who's been her enemy for three years.

One kiss at the Christmas party changes everything.

Scarlett Montgomery fought hard to earn her place in hockey management—not as the owner's daughter, but on her own merit. The last thing she needs is a scandal that could destroy everything she's worked for. Especially not with Cruz Navarro, the infuriating star goalie who's made it his mission to get under her skin since the day they met.

Cruz knows Scarlett is completely off-limits. She's his boss. His owner's daughter. The one woman in the world he absolutely cannot have.

Which is exactly why he can't stop thinking about that desperate, heated kiss that never should have happened.

When they agree to a secret relationship with an expiration date, the rules are no one can know, and they walk away after the season ends. But the more time they spend together, the harder it becomes to pretend this is just temporary. Cruz isn't playing games anymore—he's falling in love with the woman who could cost him his career.

Scarlett has a choice to the professional reputation she's spent years building, or the man who sees past every wall she's built. Going public could destroy them both. Staying secret is tearing them apart.

But love doesn't play by the rules.

And neither do they.

Can a relationship built on secrets survive in the spotlight? Or will the cost of loving each other be more than either of them can pay?
