Third Man In

He just put her boyfriend in the hospital, and now he's falling for her. The truth is about to wreck their chance at happily ever after.

I'm the toughest enforcer in the league. I've worked hard for that title, but there's one little problem with being an overachiever: I never know when to quit. So when I sucker-punch a rival on the ice, I end up benched for the rest of the season, suspended, and traded to Colorado. Feeling guilty and wanting to make things right, I decide to visit the injured player... only to be caught off guard by a stunning woman I meet at the hospital.

Natalie Foster's fresh start isn't going as planned. After her new boyfriend lands in the hospital-thanks to yours truly-and his ex shows up to stir the pot, she seems relieved to find a new friend in me. And when I bite off more than I can chew by adopting a dog, she's more than happy to lend a hand.

As I struggle to fit in with my new team and repair my reputation, I keep my past under wraps, even as my feelings for Natalie grow stronger. She has no clue I'm T.J. Shanstrom, but I'm falling harder every day.

The truth will come out, and when it does, it will destroy our chance at happily ever after.
