Owen McConnell is used to being ignored. After all, it's
only when he appears as the Colorado Avalanche's team mascot
that he gets all the attention. When the costume is off,
women tend to gravitate toward his famous hockey player
friends. But after he meets lovely, damaged Paige Adams, he
knows he can be the star player for her. She's raising funds
for the hospital burn unit, and Owen's determined to help
her out---and sweep her off her feet.
The burn unit has been near and dear to Paige's heart ever
since the doctors helped her after a vicious attack. Yet the
scars---both emotional and physical---haven't faded as much
as she'd hoped. She's closed herself off from relationships,
and the thought of opening up is terrifying. But Owen's sexy
charm might be just the push Paige needs to start loving again.
