Gigi Graham is the daughter of Garrett and Hannah Graham! Her goals is to qualify for the women's national hockey team and step out of her father's shadow. She needs to improve her game behind the net, and she needs help from Luke Ryder. 

Luke Ryder is Briar's new hockey co-captain is sexy as hell but he's still the enemy. To make matters worse, the summer coaching spot he's angling for with the legendary Garrett Graham is out of reach after he makes the worst possible first impression. So, he gets into a compromise with Gigi. He helps her make the national team, she puts in a good word with her dad. 

Okay Ryder has some serious sex appeal... "Is that what you need from people? To be told what a good girl you are" PHEWWWWW! And these two have some major chemistry, it just jumps out of the page. 

CHAPTER 20! Go read it. Ryder offers to relieve Gigi of stress through physical activities and its just *chef kiss*! 

"I came to kiss you."
"You... drove all the way here to kiss me."
"Yes"
"I... You...." :)
