That sexy blonde flirting with me at the nightclub is everything I want and everything I can’t have.

My former captain’s younger sister-in -law is a trouble-making spit fire with a heart of gold. But as everyone in the Arizona Rattlesnakes knows - she’s part of the family and you don’t mess with family. That’s just one of the rules.

Unlike me, Sasha Wilcox thinks rules are made to be broken. She cares about school and getting my attention, and she’s doing an excellent job of that. I can’t seem to stay away from her and she can’t seem to stay away from trouble. Which means neither can I.

As the only Australian player in the NHL, I have a lot at stake. My family back home is relying on me and so is my hockey family. If I give into temptation with Sasha, then we’re both going to be in a world of trouble…but only if anyone finds out.

The two of us are a bad match, no doubt about it. Yet being with her feels so good. We’re skating on thin ice and I have no idea how we can get through the mess we’ve created and be together.

Bad Match is the second book in the new Arizona Rattlesnakes series, a spinoff from Pippa Green's successful Minnesota Raiders series (You'll see some of your old favorites reappear). It can be enjoyed as a standalone novel.
