Hockey romance fans can't miss Kandi Steiner's Kings of the Ice series' Meghan Quinn, New York Times bestselling author'Every Kandi Steiner book is unputdownable' Corinne Michaels, New York Times Bestselling AuthorTheir arrangement is crystal clear. No strings. No feelings. Just sex - and two million dollars in exchange for her time and expertise. Carter Fabri may be the Tampa Bay Ospreys' newest rising star, but off the ice, he's all innocent eyes and inexperience. He's a virgin in desperate need of lessons in dominance, seduction, and everything in between. And Livia Young happens to be just the woman to teach him. She doesn't need his money but she does need what it can give her: the chance to save for something she's always wanted - something she's never told anyone about. So, Livia lays out every rule, every carefully controlled boundary. What she doesn't plan for is how quickly her student catches on . . . or how much she enjoys letting Carter take the reins. This was supposed to be a lesson in power. But somewhere along the way, Livia stops being the one in charge. She thought she could keep her heart out of it. She thought she'd accounted for every risk. But some consequences you can't predict - no matter how carefully you draft the terms. Stand Your Ground is book five in the Kings of the Ice series: a series of interconnected standalones following a team of professional hockey players and the women who bring them to their knees. They do not need to be read in order, but you will gain glimpses of future characters/couples in each book.
