The Diamond Puck-Up - Paperback

by Lauren Landish (Author)

A brooding hockey enforcer and a spirited jewelry designer find love--and trouble--when a stolen ring brings them together in this steamy romance from Wall Street Journal and USA Today bestselling author Lauren Landish.

NHL enforcer Griffin Mahoney has spent years protecting his team on the ice--and his heart off it. The one woman who makes his stone-cold exterior melt? His best friend's sister, Penny Lee. But when a stolen ring entangles her with the Mob, Griffin's protective instincts override his promise to stay away.

As a custom jewelry designer, Penny transforms family heirlooms into modern treasures. She's always thought her brother's best friend was grumpier than a bear with a hangover--until she discovers the brooding hockey player's hidden soft side. Their undeniable chemistry catches them both off guard, even as danger circles closer.

With Stanley Cup playoffs looming, Mob threats escalating, and her overprotective brother ready to cross-check them both into the next season, Griffin and Penny's path to happiness is anything but smooth. Together they'll discover that true love, like diamonds, can withstand any pressure--and shine even brighter for it.
