Face Off: DC Stars Book 1

This is a new book. Condition: Brand New.

THE VIRAL HOCKEY ROMANCE SENSATION FROM CHELSEA CURTO. PRE-ORDER NOW.

I never really felt like I had a home. But with Emmy next to me, I think home is wherever she is . . .

Emmy Hartwell has waited for a spot on an NHL roster since she became a professional hockey player, and this season, she'll finally get a chance to showcase her talents with the struggling D.C. Stars.

Maverick Miller is the best player in the league, but he's never had a winning record. Team captain and desperate to turn things around, he agrees to play nice with the fiery new left-winger even though they're total opposites.

After a night of explosive tension that ends in bed, Emmy and Maverick swear it'll be a one-time thing - just enough to clear the air so they can focus on their game. It's meaningless, she insists, because she doesn't date hockey players, and he's a notorious playboy who doesn't date at all. But "just once" quickly becomes again and again, and while they promise their friends-with-benefits setup will end with the season, their chemistry off the ice proves impossible to ignore . . .

Face Off is a spicy dislike-to-lovers hockey romance with professional athletes, friends with benefits, he falls first and a guaranteed happily ever after from bestselling author, Chelsea Curto.
