On The Defense: an ice hockey romance

Set in the world of ice hockey, the story follows Nikoli Southern, who has just started his rookie year as a defenseman on the Boston Bay Vikings' roster and wears jersey number 31.

Nikoli loves his fellow rookies and spends most of his time with them, except when he's visiting his grandmother at the assisted living facility where she has lived for some time. It's there that he falls harder than he ever has on the ice.

Willow Carter believed that her job at an assisted living facility would keep her safe. She was mistaken. The family she was running from was close behind. So the last thing she needed was to fall hard for a smooth-talking hockey player with the most beautiful blue eyes she had ever seen.
