He was my first crush, and my first heartbreak when he started dating my sister. When he left her at the altar without so much as a note, I wrote him off for good. No amount of excuses and explanations can erase what he did. At least that’s what I keep telling myself. But when we end up being sent to a remote campground alone to spend a month rebuilding the cabins, it’s too easy to remember why I fell for him in the first place.

But there’s something about her that makes me feel protective, that makes me want to get closer.

Eventually our mutual attraction steamrolls her resistance, but when her deception catches up to her and what she's been hiding is exposed, nothing will ever be the same for either of us.

Moving back wasn't what I wanted to do, but I'd do anything for my daughter, Emmy, including putting myself in the path of Sadie Jones, my daughter's new dance teacher.

I'm known as the bad boy of hockey. The grump. The one everyone stays away from. Doesn't matter to me though. All I care about is the game.

To fix my shining reputation, the team sets me up with Piper Fields, the happiest girl on the planet. Now my girlfriend. Scratch that—my fake girlfriend.

One week into what was supposed to be peaceful solitude to get my life back on track, I decide to cut my trip short and return to work.

Peppermint… My life has never been one of ease. Taken at fifteen, I was subjected to horrors better left in the dark, and then shunned by the people who were supposed to love me. Even with all that, I was one of the lucky ones. Because I was rescued by members of the very motorcycle club I am now proud to call my family. But that doesn’t mean I don’t have scars. Deep, depressing, never-ending emotional pain forever reminds me of what I went through. That and the image of my tormentor, which is tattooed on my brain. It’s been years since I’ve seen that face, but it’s back. Only, it’s different.

I've never had a man be kind to me unless he wanted something, so when a gorgeous hockey star shows interest, I don't believe it's genuine.

Now I'm determined to get my life on track, and I don't need complications, especially from a drop-dead gorgeous professional hockey player with delusions of rescuing me. I don't need to be rescued by him or anyone else. I'm doing it on my own.

When the strip of land that divides our properties becomes a literal bone of contention, we finally find something we can both agree on: war. Only, I don't want to fight.
