Now That’s What I Call a Body Check

Now That’s What I Call A Body Check

Hot Jocks Series, Book 3

Keller Shaw lives for the fight. As Riverside University’s most feared enforcer, he throws punches on the ice and in dive bars with equal enthusiasm. But when a brutal bar brawl threatens his NHL draft prospects, he’s given an ultimatum: complete the anger management alternative sentencing program or kiss his hockey career goodbye.

Judge Jonas Hargrove has zero patience for cocky athletes. The former NHL defenseman traded his skates for a gavel after a career-ending injury, and he’s sworn off players forever—especially after his ex-husband’s betrayal. Volunteering at the alternative sentencing program is supposed to be about giving back, not babysitting entitled hotheads like Keller.

The tension between them is immediate and electric. Jonas sees right through Keller’s bad-boy facade to the vulnerable man beneath. Keller can’t stop thinking about what it would take to crack the judge’s icy control. When an innocent touch during a hockey demonstration ignites something neither can ignore, they’re both in dangerous territory.

One impulsive kiss changes everything. What starts as a mistake becomes an addiction. Secret meetings turn into stolen nights. And when Keller—who’s never wanted a man before—finds himself falling for the one person who should be off-limits, he’ll have to choose between playing it safe and playing for keeps.
