Jaci Burton is a
New York Times
bestselling author who lives in Oklahoma with her husband and dogs. She has three grown children, who are all scattered around the country having lives of their own. A lover of sports, Jaci can often tell what season it is by what sport is being played. She watches entirely too much television, including an unhealthy amount of reality TV. When she isn’t on deadline, Jaci can be found at her local casino, trying to become a millionaire (so far, no luck). She’s a total romantic and loves a story with a happily ever after, which you’ll find in all her books.

This player has all the right moves . . . to break all the rules.
It seems as though Barrett Cassidy’s dreams are coming true – he’s playing defence for the Tampa Hawks and he may have found his ideal woman. Harmony Evans is smart, gorgeous and hard to resist. If only she wasn’t his best friend’s sister . . .
Harmony has always gone after what she wants with single-minded determination. She never expected her youthful crush on Barrett to develop into something deeper, and she’s not about to let some ridiculous guy code – or her brother – stand in her way. With chemistry this combustible, lines are easily crossed. But when Barrett and Harmony’s secret gets out, it just might be game over . . .

To my husband, Charlie,
for his never-ending patience, his understanding of my weird moods and his acceptance of pizza as a staple when I’m on deadline.
Love always and forever, babe.
