Book overview

An offer that seems too good to be true fuels desire too intense to ignore in this dark hockey romance from USA Today-bestselling author C.R. Jane.

"You're hurting my feelings, baby girl. It seems like you don't want to be my friend . . ."

Seasoned hockey player Camden "Hero" James has a compulsive need to help women in distress, and Anastasia Lennox is no exception. From the moment he first sees her dance he's determined to save her--and have her--even though she's hell-bent on keeping him at arm's length.

Anastasia isn't sure why a gorgeous, famous NHL star wants anything to do with a damaged ballerina who can barely make ends meet. They're clearly from two different worlds. But when she suddenly has nowhere to live, she grabs the lifeline Camden throws her with both hands.

Anastasia's new roommate's obsessive behavior should raise red flags. Instead, Camden's intense focus makes her feel safe. Despite the fact that life has taught her not to trust anyone, she finds herself falling hard and letting down her guard.

Camden wants to give Anastasia everything. Maybe this time the wrong man is offering exactly what she needs . . .

This edition features two brand-new character illustrations, a signed letter from the author, a curated playlist, and a recipe from the story.
