She may be the team owner's daughter, but she's stolen my favorite cowboy hat and is wearing my jersey—now that makes her mine.

When I'm enticed away from my Montana ranch to return to hockey with an offer I can't refuse, I'm a fish out of water in the beach-town hockey team. I try to fit in with my teammates, until a woman falls into my lap. After she steals my hat, I have to find her and get it back.

Despite my sweet-and-dirty-talking ways, she's more of a test than lasting eight seconds on a wild bronc. There's more to our first kiss though, like an instant spark of attraction between us I just can't shake, but she runs off before I can get her name or phone number.

It isn't long until our paths cross again in a totally unexpected way. But will our instant attraction turn into more or will her father stand in the way of our happily ever after?
