Mitch wanted nothing more than a casual relationship.

​

The NHL Breakers’ tough-guy enforcer had been tossed aside before…and before that…and before that. Why should he trust that a relationship with a sports editor on sabbatical would be any different? He shouldn’t. It wasn’t worth the risk.

​

Izzy wanted it all.

​

The first time she’d met Mitch, sparks flew—but not in a good way. As a matter of fact, she’d punched him square in the face. Why then, a year later, did she nominate herself to be the one to break down the walls he had built around his heart? Around his very soul? Damned if she knew.

​

Day by day Mitch & Izzy’s relationship developed into something other. They weren’t exactly lovers, but they weren’t simply friends either. How would it all work out in the end when one person wanted a happily ever after and the other didn’t believe such a thing existed?
