About this book
Dekker Kincade is a woman on a mission to save her family’s sports agency, but that objective hits a massive snag when she is assigned to represent the most coveted man in professional hockey: Hunter Maddox. The complication? Hunter is not just a superstar athlete; he is the one man who previously shattered her heart. Now, she must navigate a strictly professional relationship while traveling with the team, all while fighting the undeniable spark that never truly faded between them. Hunter Maddox is laser-focused on winning the Stanley Cup, but his erratic behavior off the ice threatens to derail his career. When he realizes his new agent is the woman he once let get away, his carefully constructed walls begin to crumble. Despite their mutual determination to keep things professional, the chemistry between them is explosive and impossible to ignore. Blending a classic second-chance romance with an enemies-to-lovers dynamic, this emotional sports drama explores the pain of the past and the fear of opening up again. As they spend time in close proximity, Dekker and Hunter are forced to confront the secrets they hide from the world, proving that sometimes the biggest risks are the ones taken for love.

Image 104: A 1x1 image, likely be a tacker probe Amazon Customer](javascript:void(0)) 5 out of 5 stars Lo amé Me derretí, morí y volví a nacer con esta lectura. Más allá del amor romántico y pasional, el amor y la lealtad de un hombre a su familia es lo que más me atrapó de la lectura y lo que más amé de Hunter. Él es el gran protagonista de este libro, jugador de hockey, el mejor de la NHL, atractivo, cínico y muy muy HOT. Dekker es una mujer emprendedora e inteligente, que trabaja en el negocio familiar junto a su papá y sus hermanas. Un día su padre le pide que reclute al mejor, a Hunter Maddox. Lo que casi nadie sabe es que ellos tienen un pasado juntos. Ella lo dejó sin marcha atrás y lo que menos quiere es tener contacto nuevamente con él. Mi personaje favorito en el libro fue Hunter. El pasado y su confusión con Dekker hace de Hunter el jugador mala conducta, arrogante y grosero. No supera el que ella lo haya dejado 3 años atrás, y en un punto la convierte en su saco de boxeo y todas sus frustraciones y miedos los descarga en su contra.. sin control de daños. No supera la situación de su hermano, no se perdona lo qué pasó. La culpa y el remordimiento no lo dejan vivir, ni disfrutar de sus logros, ni siquiera los reconoce! Cada capítulo narrado por Hunter que comenzaba con un texto de su padre me desarmaba y hacía a mi corazón llorar de tristeza, rabia y frustración... todo junto. Después de leer la carta de Jonah (el hermano de Hunter) me quebré.. es lo más emotivo que he leído en algún tiempo. Una historia de segundas oportunidades, pasión, amor, deporte, superación y perdón. Fue una excelente elección!!

05 4.5 out of 5 stars](javascript:void(0))(3,967) Book 1 of 5: The Play Hard Series (The Kincade Sisters) Sorry, there was a problem loading this page. Try again. See all formats and editions New York Times best-selling author K. Bromberg is back with an all new second-chance, standalone hockey romance. At first, the request seemed simple - sign a new athlete to the agency. Then I found out the new athlete was none other than the most wanted man in hockey today: Hunter Maddox. Gifted. Sexy. At the top of his game. And the only man who has ever broken my heart. If signing him will help save our family business, I’ll swallow my pride and do what’s asked. But when it becomes clear his uncharacteristic antics off the ice are a hint of something deeper, keeping things strictly professional between us becomes more than complicated. But I know better than to cross that line. I’ll never date a client. Not even for him. - - - Win the Stanley Cup and do it before time runs out. Not a small feat, but it’s what’s motivated me since the start of my career. And time is running out. Enter Dekker Kincade. Feisty. Dogged. Damn gorgeous. The one I let get away. I have no idea why she’s traveling with the team, but hell if resisting her is going to be easy. But I have a job to do, and I refuse to lose sight of that end game. Even if she confuses me. Even if she sees parts of me I’ve hidden from the world. I can’t lose focus. Not even for her. ) ©2020 K. Bromberg (P)2020 K. Bromberg Previous slide of product details 1.
