When Chelsea Ross rings the doorbell, Mark Bressler is
armed and ready. He has already insulted and intimidated
several home healthcare workers, and he is sure he can run
this one off too. But Chelsea dishes the insults right back
and walks on in. She isn't a home healthcare worker or
nurse like all the rest who have been sent by the hockey
organization. Chelsea is an actress and is only doing this
job for the $10,000 bonus the organization promised her if
she lasted three months.
Mark had been the Chinooks' star hockey player and team
captain until an automobile accident crippled him and
almost took his life. He spent weeks in a coma and is lucky
to be alive. He is angry about his situation and
limitations and is taking it out on everyone.
Chelsea makes it clear to Mark that she is not here to take
his blood pressure and pulse rate and see that he takes his
medication. She considers herself his personal assistant
and sets herself to work creating things to do for him.
Mark gives her some embarrassing and menial tasks, hoping
she will quit, but she perseveres, constantly reminding
herself about the bonus and why she needs the money.
When Mark begins to dream about having sex with Chelsea, he
becomes even more determined to get rid of her. But when a
dream and reality get crossed up one afternoon as she wakes
him from a nap, different kinds of sparks begin to fly
between them. A raw animal magnetism draws them together
and they just can't fight it. Chelsea tries to keep
it "after business hours," although Mark finds that hard to
do.
For Chelsea, this passion turns to love, and she realizes
she is no longer doing this job for the money. However,
Mark is outraged when he finds out she has been promised
the bonus. He feels he has been taken for a fool and thinks
Chelsea has just been doing a really fine acting job. What
will happen now? What choice does Chelsea have?
Return to Seattle and the hockey rink and get reacquainted
with old friends Faith Duffy and Ty Savage in this terrific
novel about the NHL Chinooks' family of players. Rachel
Gibson gives us another romantic masterpiece you are
sure to enjoy.
Trouble . . . Chelsea Ross's acting career has been a total bust. The closest she ever came to stardom was her brilliant performance as "Pretty Dead Girl #1." But leaving Hollywood to become the personal assistant to a famous hockey player could be her stupidest career move ever. More trouble . . . Injured superstar Mark Bressler's glory days are over. The bad-boy ex-jock could at least be civil to the pint-sized, pink-haired bombshell who the Seattle Chinooks hired to be his P.A. If Chelsea didn't need the money, she'd be running from the world's biggest jerk as fast as her feet could carry her. Big trouble! Chelsea can deal with Mark's rotten attitude and dark moods. The problem is those biceps and that red-hot bod! And when the bad boy starts to put the moves on her, Chelsea knows it's time she banished him to the penalty box . . . if only she could resist the kind of trouble he has in mind!
