A Fairbury Vikings Hockey Romance

He’s untouchable. She’s untamable. Her fiery spirit is the only thing that can melt his heart of ice.

When her relatives turn the treasured Lloyd family heirloom into a prize for whichever cousin marries first, Daphne Lloyd is desperate to keep the daffodil-painted platter that inspired her own art, out of the hands of those who don’t care about it the way she does. She’ll play their game, but on her own terms, and with the man they least expect.

Luke Rushton wants to play hockey, not the part of a dutiful grandson in a feuding family. However, when they threaten his inheritance and the safety of his younger sister, he has no choice but to settle for a suitable match. But when Daphne approaches him with a simple marriage agreement, he resists. He can’t form an alliance with a Lloyd, or can he?

With their families trying to control them, they retaliate by marrying the enemy.

When Daphne mocks his lack of romance, and Luke makes a silent vow to prove her wrong, it leads to what is far too much like love for both of them. Suddenly, her marriage no longer feels like revenge, and he finds his frozen heart melting for his wife.
