Chance<\/p>\n

The day I saw Gemma Steele\u2019s delicious body wearing nothing but a few scraps of lace, I knew being traded was the least of my problems.<\/p>\n

Her sexy text may not have been meant for me, but that image is not something a warm-blooded man could ever forget\u2014no matter how badly he wants to. I\u2019ve tried to resist her, but I can\u2019t seem to escape Little Miss Suzy Sunshine. Every interaction is rife with tension and animosity, until it boils over, and we cross the point of no return.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s when I know I\u2019m screwed, because now when I look at her, all I think is:Mine.<\/p>\n

Who knew a simple selfie could be such a recipe for disaster?<\/p>\n

Gemma<\/p>\n

The first time I met Chance Jenson, I was into the whole broody-bad-boy thing.<\/p>\n

But then he opened his mouth and I quickly realized he\u2019s not just a little moody\u2014he\u2019s the grumpiest jerk to ever lace up a pair of hockey skates. I wasn\u2019t having any part of it. I agreed to cook for his dogs, but promised myself that the only thing he would ever eat are his words.<\/p>\n

I spent more than a year doing my best to hate him, but when Chance\u2019s lips land on mine, I feel\u2026conflicted.
I don\u2019t want to want the jackass.
I certainly don\u2019t want to have feelings for him.
Unfortunately for me, my heart seems to have other plans.<\/p>\n

What the hell am I going to do?<\/p>\n

**DEFENSIVE HEARTS is an enemies-to-lovers romcom filled with hella sexual tension featuring a sunshiny personal chef, a grumpy hockey player who\u2019s jealous his dogs get all her love, and a sexy selfie that pushes this possessive alphahole over the edge. While this hilarious romance stands alone with its HEA, you won\u2019t go wrong catching up with the best girl gang around\u2013The Covenettes\u2013in the rest of the BTU Alumni series.**
