title: Trainwrecks & Back Checks
author: Myers, Heather C.
description: It's not pretend when feelings get involved...
  As a veteran defenseman for the Newport Beach Seagulls, I know what it’s like to protect. Protect my net. Protect the puck. Protect my team.
  I’m not even above throwing my gloves off if I need to in order to send a message to the other team.
  My neighbor is a completely different story.
  Chloe Summers keeps to herself and minds her own business. She’s cute in that
  sexy librarian
   sort of way but I’ve never made a move. See, I like to keep to myself too. And
  relationship
   is not a word in my vocabulary.
  But then I find out that she’s in trouble.
  My
  protective instinct
   kicks in.
  I tell her I’ll pretend to be her boyfriend in order to keep her from harm.
  And then I realize she’s so much
  more
   than a sexy librarian.
  I want her
  , nearly as much as I want the Stanley Cup.
  And I’m so close to both, I can’t f*cking take it.

  The flowers all over my porch.
  That was the first sign that he found me. After years of hiding, he found me.
  I shouldn’t be surprised. He has money, he has charm, he’s even attractive.
  But he’s been my
  nightmare
   for five years.
  It’s why I don’t date. I don’t have many friends. I don’t even say hi to my gorgeous if stoic neighbor. I know he plays for the NHL. He’s probably just looking for some privacy.
  But then, Art Jackman gets involved. It’s not his choice. And I sure don’t want him to know these things. Now, he does and I can’t hide who I am anymore.
  When he gives me an offer I can’t refuse, I get to know Art more and I realize he’s not just gorgeous,
  he’s everything I want
  .
  But will he even
  want
   me with my past finally catching up to me?
