“"Pack your bags and get out." "Not a chance, Captain. I paid for this room, and I'm not leaving." Rose Murphy just walked into her worst nightmare: a double-booked apartment with Drake Morvane, Toronto's star hockey captain, resident golden boy, and the most frustratingly handsome man she has ever laid eyes on. Drake is a man of rules, ice, and absolute focus. He doesn't do roommates. He definitely doesn't do distractions. But with no other housing options available, they are forced to strike a deal: live together, stay out of each other's way, and never-under any circumstances-cross the line. It sounds simple enough. Until shared keys turn into late-night kitchen run-ins, and a fake truce turns into very real, scorching-hot tension. Can the grumpy captain protect his heart, or will the one girl he never saw coming completely melt his ice?”
