BLURB:
Truman
"Tru" Jelinek's life is pretty much off the rails. With his
professional hockey career on thin ice, and his personal life falling apart,
he's ready to implement some serious changes. Helping Jenny Martin—the only
girl he's ever loved—make her dreams a reality is a good place to start.
There's
just one problem: Jenny doesn't want his help. She barely wants to speak to
him. But Tru is prepared to negotiate a deal that even Jenny can't refuse. As
trading favors turns into sharing passion, he has to face the truth that when
it comes to Jenny, the game is far from over.

Melanie frowned as she climbed into his SUV. “You
know I teach Pilates on Wednesdays. It’ll have to be Thursday.”
“That’s the night before we play Pittsburgh.”
“It’s not like that one game will make a
difference.” She rolled her green eyes. “You won’t make the postseason anyway.”
Tru bit back a retort. He closed Mel’s door, then
stalked around to his side. He didn’t need a reminder of how badly the Cats
were doing. It had been two years since they’d won the Stanley Cup. Last year,
they were bounced from the play-offs in the first round. This year, they
wouldn’t even make the cut. Veteran players, like him, were being blamed for
the team’s lackluster performance. After the crappy, injury-plagued season he’d
had, he couldn’t argue.
“Hey, Tru, you coming to eat?” Jean-Baptiste
Larocque called out as he walked past.
“I’ve got other plans.” Tru nodded toward Melanie,
who was applying lip gloss. “I’ll catch you tomorrow.”
J.B. grinned. “Have fun. Don’t do anything I
wouldn’t.”
“With your track record, that gives me a pretty
free rein.”
“Be careful. For an old guy like you, that might be
dangerous.”
“This ‘old guy’ can still grind your candy-ass to
dust, kid.”
“You keep believing that.” Larocque laughed, before
sliding into his Porsche.
Melanie pursed her lips as Tru fastened his seat
belt. “You never let me go to dinner with the team.”
