Teamwork, Lily Harlem (contemporary, ménage)
Book four in the Hot Ice series.
What I know about hockey could fit on the back of a stamp. So my latest patient may be one of the NHL's hottest defensemen, but I'm not exactly blown away by his stardom. Add in the fact that he's a surly, growling grump, and I'm more than happy to work my magic on his battered body then hot-foot to my date with his teammate, Todd "Pretty" Carty.
Todd is sex on a stick, a slice of man heaven, and I want a bit of the action, preferably of the bedroom variety. But when Raven emerges from his bad mood and throws his energy into blowing my mind with just one kiss, I find my head spinning and my libido raging.
What I didn't bargain on is these hard-training, hard-playing hockey players working as efficiently off the ice as on when it comes to getting results. But who am I to complain when satisfaction is their ultimate goal?
