Hendrix Bateman is one of The Lucky Three, a trio of players who were not on the Titanโs team plane the night it crashed. Feeling as if heโs been given a second chance, Hendrix is determined to make the most out of his life, but that doesnโt mean heโs not suffering from scars that canโt be seen.
When I lost my Titan brothers in the crash, it was a mixed bag of emotions. I was devastated and grief stricken, but I was also grateful to be alive. Yeah, that might cause a littleโokay, a lot ofโguilt, but now Iโm determined to live each day as if itโs my last.
A night out with friends puts me in the crosshairs of Stevie Kisnerโthe devastatingly beautiful bar owner with a sharp tongue and a fire in her eyes that lets me know she has zero tolerance for guys like me. Iโve never been one to back away from a challenge, so Iโm not dissuaded by Stevieโs tough as nails attitude or her big biker dad who looks like he wants to kill me. Fueled by too many shots and the raucous urging of my teammates, I set out to show Stevie Iโve got game both on and off the ice.
While I shouldnโt be looking for anything more than a good time, I canโt help but be captivated by Stevie. Sheโs cool as hell and we burn hot together. But the more I get to know her, the more I can tell sheโs holding something in reserve, and letโs just say Iโve got some trust issues after my last disastrous attempt at a relationship. Now I need to decide if Iโm going to let my past dictate my future or if I am willing to put my heart on the line to find out if Stevie is exactly what I think she isโmy everything.
