Sometimes, the best defense is a passionate offense.

The ref stops the puck in the middle of a playoff game, and I look up from the ice ... to see my boyfriend making out with another guy on the kiss cam.

My humiliation goes viral, and suddenly, my entire life—from my back pass to my bisexuality—is tabloid fodder.

To make matters worse, the jerk making out with my guy turns out to be the live-in boyfriend of Lena Sinclair, the brand new team dentist for the Pittsburgh Fury. When Doc finds herself homeless after confronting her ex, I offer her my guest room while we both lick our wounds.

Revenge sounds sweet to both of us, so we craft the perfect plan: a "summer fling" that'll show our exes exactly what they've lost.

Somehow, the line between fake and real grows blurry, and the game becomes dangerously personal. With Lena’s job on the line and the whole world watching my every move, we’re not just playing for payback. We’re fighting a connection neither of us saw coming--one that might be worth risking everything.

Playing for Payback is a hockey romance with a curvy heroine, a two-way defender who excels at protecting what matters, and body checks straight from the sin bin.
