Forbidden Puck by June Winters

Ella Couture didn’t mean to save herself for this long. But success runs in the family and Ella, a fiery and self-made interior decorator, never wanted to settle for anything less than a quality man. But another disappointing breakup has her ready to reconsider, because this whole v-card business has gone on for way too long …

After bouncing around the NHL for years, tough guy Ryan Ryder finally carved out a regular roster spot with the Boston Brawlers. Now that he’s rich and famous, Ryan has his pick of Boston’s hottest girls — and it’s all thanks to his unlikely on-ice chemistry with the team’s superstar, Lance Couture. You’d have to be a moron to screw this gig up …

When Ella visits her brother Lance for the weekend, she ends up spending more time with his roommate Ryan instead. Ryan’s tall, chiseled and gorgeous — but Ella’s only flirting with him because it drives her brother completely crazy. Okay, maybe there’s a hint of real mutual attraction between them … but they both know they’re forbidden to do anything about it.
What could possibly go wrong?
