I’m all too familiar with cocky hockey stars who think they rule the rink. When I’m assigned to cover the Sable Creek Saints’ new season, I expect to deal with intense games and tough players. What I don’t expect is to clash with Zach Brooks, the hockey team’s star center. With his imposing build and confident demeanor, Zach is used to getting what he wants–on and off the ice. But I’m a professional, not a puck bunny, and I’m not afraid to challenge him.

When Zach shows me his true colors, will it cement my preconceived ideas about egocentric jocks or will it lead to healing hearts?

Zach

I’m not a hero. That title goes to my mom, a single mother and cancer survivor who sacrificed everything to make my dream of becoming a professional athlete come true. Because of her, I’m fiercely protective and loyal to those I love, including my teammates. When a snoopy reporter sticks her nose in my business, I go on the defensive, not expecting to fall hard and fast for her. Now I’m more determined than ever to show her that not all star players are self-centered jerks.

When I’m faced with a decision to fight for what’s right, will it tarnish my reputation and disappoint those who look up to me?

Heart of a Defender is a sizzling romance about the power of protective love and the courage to stand up for what’s right. Follow along as enemies become lovers and discover a heart-pounding journey packed with steam, love, loyalty, and redemption.
