Deadlines & Red Lines - Julian Stephanie

Looking to score love

Sugar Donahue is determined to live life on her own terms, even if that means working three dead-end jobs to make ends meet. The only bright spot in her day is the moment the hottest player on the Philadelphia Colonials hockey team walks into the diner where she works. Too bad he's so far out of her league he might as well be on another planet.

RJ Mitchell wants Sugar any way he can have her-on a table, up against a wall, whatever he can get. He's at the top of his game and a fan favorite, but his life feels stuck in neutral. He's not willing to risk his heart, but he'll take whatever Sugar's willing to give.

But when eyes meet, and breath stops, and heat sizzles every time they touch, neither can resist the attraction. RJ's been burned by women before and Sugar's insecurities make her feel like she's skating on thin ice. Are they willing to face off at the red line and take the shot, to score the love of a lifetime?
