The New York Heat professional hockey team is known for its speed and grit-and for the three biggest badasses in the sport- the Swift brothers. Fighting to overcome their damaged pasts, they need a certain kind of woman to melt the chips on their shoulders-and their cold, hard hearts . . . a Winning is the only thing on defenseman Axel oWarrioro Swift's mind. And if crushing bodies on the ice-and keeping his distance off the ice-is how he has to do it, then so be it. But low morale is affecting the locker room and the top brass needs the team to fall in line. . . Now. The solution? Life coach Vienna Ivory. a Helping to turn the Heat's season around could give Vienna the career break she needs to prove that she's no pampered, Ivy League princess. But when a player's wedding implodes-and Vienna's blamed for it-there's nothing left to lose other than the professional lines she swore she'd never cross. So when she finds herself facing off with dirty-talking Axel in the abandoned honeymoon suite, she's ready to make a play for pleasure. And damn the penalty. . .
