    About this ebook

    This novella was previously released as Taking the Shot

    Professional lacrosse player Avalon Rivera, "The Ice Queen", has been in love with her best friend's older brother since she was a kid. But after his stinging rejection, she wrote him off for good. Eight years later, he's back in her life and the lacrosse star is forced to work with him to salvage her team's reputation, or she'll lose the career she's fought hard for.

     

    JJ Jennings is a premiere player in men's professional lacrosse, both on the field and off. But when he is reunited with Ava, the young girl he once thought of like a sister, he's tempted into becoming a one-woman man. If only he can convince The Ice Queen to give him another chance to heat up her sheets and thaw her heart.
