Strong and Wild: A Hockey Romance - Paperback

by Sloane St James (Author)

An aspiring baker and a pro hockey player seek common ground in this fiery enemies-to-lovers romance from the author of the Sky Ridge Hotshots series.

Micky has big dreams, and she's doing everything she can to make them a reality. Opening up her bakery-slash-cocktail-lounge, Sugar & Ice, is going to take a lot of cash. Luckily, in between her shifts at the local hockey bar, she's got a spicy online gig that's helping to fill up her bank account. There's just one problem: a cocky neighbor who really gets under her skin.

For Rhys, hockey always comes first. As the rookie on his team, he has one year to prove he's got what it takes. That means no distractions, no playing around, and absolutely no relationships. Fortunately, he has the most delicious outlet for his physical needs. That is, until he realizes the sexy baker whose video chats leave him salivating is the girl next door.

Now Rhys is determined to steer clear of the "Queen of Tarts," but when Micky steps in to do him a favor, his defenses come crumbling down. Before they know it, they're in bed together, discovering just how compatible they truly are. And it's not just their kinks they have in common, which will make keeping things casual harder than either are prepared for . . .

Strong and Wild is a spicy enemies-to-lovers hockey romance featuring angst, degradation, forced proximity, and of course, a happily ever after. Possible triggers include depictions of drug use, addiction, and slut-shaming.
