New York Times bestselling author of the Briar U series Elle Kennedyâs first hockey romance, Body Check, is now released in an expanded version, with both new and enhanced scenes by the author! More story, more hockeyâand more heat!
After a childhood spent being dragged around the country by her hockey coach father, Hayden Houston intends to take some time to figure out her future. Whether that future will include her currently off-again boyfriend remains to be seen. What it certainly wonât include is the for-one-night-only guy she just met at a bar.
It seems hockey star Brody Croft did not get the memo about being temporary. Big, bold and driven, heâs dedicated in everything he does. Up till now, thatâs been his teamâthe one owned by Haydenâs dad. But his night with Hayden has sparked something he didnât expect. The two of them are good together. Really good. Thereâs a connection heâs never experienced before, one he knows theyâd be wrong to ignore. Even with a game-fixing scandal testing both their loyaltiesâto teammates, to friendsâŠto family.
Part of Hayden wants to turn tail and run. A complicated relationship with a bad boy hockey player is exactly what she never wanted. But when it comes to Brody, Hayden is realizing that people can be so much more than what they seem.
