All
Kate Adams
wants to do is look at the Pacific Ocean, drink her wine and forget. She wants to forget about her divorce, forget about the fractured relationship with her teenage daughter, and forget that it's her birthday and she's 3000 miles from home. When one of the professional hockey players who's staying at her hotel asks her out to dinner, it's too much...she knows she has to say no. The man is drop dead gorgeous and way too young for her. But there's something charming about
David Burke
, something that tempts Kate to throw caution to the wind and accept his invitation.
It is, after all, her
40
th
birthday. Why not?
However, despite off the charts chemistry, and a mind-blowing one-night stand, a real romance with thirty-year-old David is out of the question. His high-octane social life is almost as newsworthy as his hockey career. It's just too risky. No matter how much she wants him, Kate has had enough heartbreak for a lifetime.
That's not going to work for David. Meeting Kate has been his lightning strike. After years of meaningless hook-ups, she's the one for him, and he has no intention of giving up on her.
So, while Kate guards her fragile heart, David sets out to win her over with the same determination that drives him on the ice.
And he'll break every rule in the book if he has to.
