About this listen
After a string of bad set-ups and boring dates, Reese Brannon is done with men. She's focused on her job as a fitness model and blogger. There's no need to look for a man because she doesn't want one. Especially when relationships usually end in heartbreak.
Jean-Pierre Rochat-known as JP-is done with women. All this Swiss hockey player has ever wanted is to fall in love, but his relationships never end with a happily ever after. If he's going to be stuck in the friend zone, he'll keep things casual for his new endgame.
But will one hot Dallas summer night change everything for Reese and JP?
Because when the two meet again when JP returns for hockey season, Reese finds her attraction to him hasn't waned since their first meeting. Charming and intelligent, JP is different in all the right ways, but Reese realizes letting him in will make her vulnerable, something that terrifies her. JP never forgot Reese from their initial introduction last winter, and the sparks fly for him even more so the second time. But with Reese, his thoughts are anything but casual . . .
Can JP and Reese let their guards down to take a chance on love? Or will this simply be a game of playing defense?

Story
You see, I'm starting a new job on Monday at a sports TV network, and I was treating myself to a way too expensive cut at one of Miami's chicest hair salons in preparation when he walked in. By he, I mean, a tall, inked, European, and breathtakingly hot NBA superstar named Antoni Nowak. And Antoni happens to be interested in me—despite seeing me in that awful salon lighting, with wet hair, and draped in a smock.

Apparently she's not so good at figuring them out, so she refuses to bother. Josephine knows it is safer to stay in the kitchen than to take another chance with her heart.

Her response leads Clementine to the mysterious CP Chadwick, a British man studying history at Cambridge. Clementine finds CP charming, smart, and unlike any man she's ever met.

Wary of others, he's kept himself closed off from the world - until he lets Clementine in.
