Book Info:
Professional hockey player Rob D'Amico is confused when he's chosen to
take part in a reading program for inner-city students. While athletes are role
models, he tends toward the gregarious and playful side, rather than a studious
bent.
Despite the lack of funding plaguing her inner-city district, every day
kindergarten teacher Alaina Rossa ensures her students learn something to
prepare them for life. At first she's unsure how a hockey player will help her
achieve that goal.
When Rob visits Alaina's class for the first time, they welcome him with
open arms, despite the lack of even the basic supplies for their education. He
takes it upon himself to get the students what they need, sweeping Alaina up in
the excitement.
As time goes by and she learns more about Rob, Alaina finds her heart
opening to him. Is it possible her soul mate could be found in a world so
different from her own? And for Rob, the last person he thought he'd find
forever love with was an elementary school teacher wearing clothes permanently
stained with finger paint. But when you're playing for keeps, sometimes you
have to get a little dirty.
Excerpt:
Rob slowly moved closer, giving Alaina a
chance to back away. She didn’t, and with a slight tightening of his hand in
her hair, he brought her the rest of the way, then kissed her. Alaina had him
under some kind of spell. When he’d first met her, he’d thought she was a frump
with a stick up her ass. Now he realized she was just serious about her work.
Considering what he’d given up to be a hockey player, including friends, free
time, and many experiences others took for granted, like going to his high
school prom, he could respect her attitude.
Their tongues circled each other briefly
before she retreated and allowed him to take over the kiss. With a moan, he
aligned their bodies, sliding his other arm around her waist. After several
moments, his lungs screaming for oxygen, he pulled back.
Her eyes were wide. “Wow. Do that again.”
His laugh sounded almost maniacal to his
own ears. “With pleasure.”
Leaning over her more, he pressed her into
the couch, and the cushions groaned under their combined weight. Rob put as
much weight as he could on his forearms so he wouldn’t crush Alaina as he laid
open-mouthed kisses along her jaw to her ear. She moved restlessly beneath him,
breathy moans escaping her open mouth, and he felt his self-control crumbling.
He hadn’t come in his jeans in years and didn’t relish the thought now.
But he couldn’t stop kissing her. Like an
addict, he had to have more.
