Unsportsmanlike Conduct

"Bold hockey romance that hits like a slap shot." —New York Times bestselling author Rachel Reid

A picture-perfect All-Star meets a bad boy who plays dirty in this opposites attract MM hockey romance for fans of Heated Rivalry. 

Leo Cohen never expected to be in the big leagues. His first strike was being an undersized defenseman from California. His second was getting a dirtbag reputation on every team he’s ever played for. Now, the Edmonton Skyhawks might be Leo’s last chance, and he’s got to behave.

Devon Fraser isn’t just Edmonton’s superstar defenseman: he’s the young Canadian face of the sport. But under his carefully controlled exterior, he’s kind of a mess. So worried about being perfect, he’s sacrificed part of himself in the process. Devon has to win it all—so that everything else will be worth it.

When the Skyhawks claim Leo as a waiver pickup, he’s told he’ll be living with Devon. Leo doesn’t want an obnoxious babysitter, and Devon doesn’t want an unruly bad boy hurting his chances at a championship. But as they spend time together, things start to change. Animosity becomes passion, then friendship, until suddenly, they’re facing something even more dangerous.

With everything on the line, it’s unclear what could be more devastating: losing the season, or losing their hearts.

"This is Ari Baran's best pairing ever." —Sarina Bowen, USA Today bestselling author of The New Guy
