Kenzie Foster loves hockey. If only her hockey-coach dad hadn't forbidden her from playing—thanks to Parker Darling. When the Devils’ goalie gets injured, Parker is determined to lead the team back to greatness. Kenzie, meanwhile, sees a wide-open net just waiting to prove her dad wrong. Parker and Kenzie will need to work together to reach their goals—but does that mean risking another big mistake? - Enemies to lovers: Parker and Kenzie are responsible for each other's biggest problems. But the reason they got into trouble in the first place was their chemistry—which is still too hot to ignore. - Girl power: Parker Darling isn't the only hockey player in this story. You'll be rooting for Kenzie as she beats out the boys for the star goalie spot. - Hockey romance galore: Fall in love with all four Darling siblings with the other books in the DARLING DEVILS series!
