My name is Rachel Price, and two months ago, I walked away from the perfect man. Sweet and funny, and so hot it should be illegal—we shared one magical night. No names. No strings. I never thought I'd see him again.

I was wrong. It turns out Mr. Perfect is the playboy grinder for the Jacksonville Rays, the NHL's hottest new hockey team . . . and I'm his new physical therapist. Oh, and the jerk doesn't even recognize me!

This fellowship is going to be the longest ten months of my life. Mr. Perfect Mistake will do anything to get back on my good side. Meanwhile, his best friend is the surly new equipment manager always riding my case. Worst of all, I've got an uncooperative goalie who thinks I can't tell he's hiding an injury!

This is my chance to prove myself, and I'm not risking it for anything. But with one unexpected night, one secret revealed, these men are ready to test all my limits. I can't fall for a player . . . let alone three. But if love is a game, these guys are playing to win.

Pucking Around

“I want you, Mars. God—I have to have you. I’ve wanted you for so long. I’m aching for you
so wet for you
desperate for you.”

Rachel
Pucking Around

“We’ll call this exposure therapy. It’s one thing for Mars to say he wants you. But he doesn’t get to take you away from us. And he doesn’t get a nice, sterile version of our life where the only one who touches you in his presence is him.”

Caleb

“And I don’t just mean that I get to fuck you and hold you and orbit you like a satellite. I mean that you’re all fucking mine. You’re my Seattle Girl. Wear my jersey, you better be ready to wear my ring and my name, because that’s where this is going for me. Don’t fucking tease me again unless you’re all the way there too.”

Jake
Pucking Around

“You fucking heard me, Cay. Shut that door. Then get over here, and kiss me like I’m the last man you’ll ever kiss for the rest of your lucky fucking life.”

Jake
Pucking Around

“Ten months. Ride out your contract. I’ll play nice. But the second it’s over, you’re mine, Seattle. You’re not leaving me again.”

Jake
Pucking Around

“Please take this as the only warning I will give: Fuck our girl against one of my nets again, and I’ll cut off your pretty little cock. Understood?

Ilmari
Pucking Around

“Oh baby, just you wait. I’ve got the next ten months to slow burn the fuck out of this. Oh, shit. This is about to become my new favorite game.”

Jake
Pucking Around

“It’s yours. Take me. Fuck me, Mars. And don’t hold back. God—please—just stop holding back. Let me in out of the cold.”

Rachel
Pucking Around

“We’ll define happiness on our terms. But I want you both. And there is no winning here. There is no first or second place. No trophies and no choosing. I am not a prize to be won.”

Rachel
Pucking Around

“You know I love you too, right? I’m theirs. They’ve claimed me and there’s no letting go. But you’re mine. I claim you, Ilmari. No letting go.”

Rachel
Pucking Around

“On your knees, Hurricane. Whores who like to get fucked get on their knees and beg for it.”

Caleb
Pucking Around

“You want to know where this is going. You don’t care about whatever vague visions of the future we saw for ourselves with some faceless hot wife and bratty kids. You want to know whether we see you. Whether we see this
whatever this is.”

Caleb
Pucking Around

“I’m not giving up on us, Seattle. We’re inevitable.”

Jake
Pucking Around

“For fifty points, I’m gonna rail you hard and fast. Your sweet pussy is gonna come all over my dick. And then we’re gonna walk back out to that boring party with me dripping down your thighs."

Jake
Pucking Around

“I want you to kiss me like you’ll die if you don’t. Kiss me, and I’ll go back in there. Kiss me, and I’ll do the scans.”

Ilmari
Pucking Around

“Place yourself in our care, and we will never stop fighting for you. We will never stray, never waver. We will seek no exit. Love us and watch how we love you in return. One family. One unit. Unbreakable.”

Ilmari
Pucking Around

“Don’t think we didn’t see you flitting around in our jerseys tonight, spinning us up with your flirty smiles. You’re fucking next, Seattle!

Jake
Pucking Around

“You really think I could forget my Seattle Girl? Baby, you’re all I think about.”
