One night. Two lines. Three lives changed forever.

I swore off hockey players after my ex-husband's betrayal. So, when I hooked up with a cocky stranger at a party, I had a few expectations: No strings. No repeats.

Because the guy I chose was Tucker Stag-Pittsburgh Fury enforcer and my ex's teammate.

Oh, and those condoms he endorses? They don't work.

Now I'm facing co-parenting with a man whose entire family smothers us, and I feel my hard-won independence slipping further away with every casserole and helpful suggestion.

Tucker fights hard on the ice and plays harder off it. He says he'll change and be a real father. He says he's nothing like my ex. He says a lot of things when his hands are on my body and his mouth is making promises against my skin.

But when my past collides with our present and threatens everything we're building, I have to decide: Can I trust the bad boy who's trying to be good? Or will I lose myself to another hockey player who puts the game above all else?

Playing with Fire is a hockey romance with a forbidden relationship, a surprise pregnancy, and a love story that will leave you breathless.
