He's swearing off love... until he falls for the one woman he shouldn't want.
Jax Morrow plays hard on the ice, but when it comes to his heart, he's strictly defensive. After having his heart shattered twice, the star hockey player's priorities are simple: playing the game and protecting his daughter. But when severe bullying forces his daughter to move in with him, Jax is left drowning in single fatherhood and desperate for help.
Kiley O'Shea is trying to juggle it all. Between being a single mom, teaching full-time and working nights at her family's pub, she doesn't have energy to spare-especially for the arrogant playboy athlete her father calls a friend. But when Jax quietly steps in as an investor to save her family's struggling bar, Kiley realizes there's far more to the playboy player than meets the eye.
After Kiley reluctantly agrees to become Jax's temporary nanny, living under the same roof ignites a tension neither saw coming. Between chaotic parenting moments and late-night temptation, their explosive chemistry becomes impossible to deny.
Does Jax have the willpower to keep his heart guarded against his biggest temptation or will this be the one game Jax isn't strong enough to win?
Playing For Love is the first book in the Chicago Phoenixes Hockey Series with eleven other amazing authors. All books have crossover characters but are standalone novels and can be read in any order.
