The Opponent

Summary

Ford

As the new captain of the Colorado Coyotes, there's a heavy weight on my shoulders. The Coyotes lost five players last season to a tragic arena explosion, and as the new team leader, I want to be a rock for my teammates. That includes battling my new neighbor Eleanor Lawrence, the Denver newspaper columnist who's on a mission to end the city's pro hockey team for good. Do I want her? Desperately. But we're on opposing sides of a war I don't intend to lose.

Elle

I'm in no danger of being charmed by Ford Barrett. My new neighbor is a caveman—not remotely my type. He may be attractive, but he's also stubborn and permanently scowling. Even worse? He dropped a couch on my foot. The more we spar, though, the hotter my secret attraction to him burns. Once I give in to the possessive hockey player, lines get blurred.

I want to win, but I also want him. And I can't have both.

Contains mature themes.
