After achieving the goals I set for myself, I walked away from my professional hockey career. It was a tough decision, but the right one at the time. When the Titans organization approached me about joining the team they were rebuilding following a devastating plane crash, I felt a passion for the game and a competitive spirit I hadn’t felt in years.

Those guys might seem tantalizing when they’re in uniform down on the field, hitting grand slams in front of a crowd of adoring fans, but I know better. The huge egos? The insane travel schedules? The veritable buffet of female companions? No ma’am. Professional athletes are best handled at a distance, preferably far enough away that their chiseled jawlines blur into oblivion. Enter Grant Navarro.

As the only daughter in the Wynn family of hockey heroes, I never shared the ice with my brothers - or the approval they got from my father. And that was before the scandal that ruined my life at 16. Now that I've put all that behind me and built a successful career, the last thing I need is another hockey player in my life. Especially one like Wyatt Bell. He's an arrogant, fast-living party boy. I hate how he gets by on his good looks and charm. So why can't I get him out of my mind?
