What It Must Be (Off Ice #3)

You’re cordially invited to the wedding of the season.

Bennett:

Scarlett Carlisle knocked me off my feet when I first met her, and after only one night together, I knew I was gone for that girl. That is, until I found out she was the daughter of the man who signed my paychecks.

It’s been years since that night, but when a particular cheeky redhead waltzes back into my life, I learn a couple of things. First, I’m a complete asshole. And second, I’d do just about anything to right my wrong with the one that got away… even get down on one knee.

What starts as an engagement of convenience quickly becomes something I decide I must make real. My bride’s heart is guarded, but I’m determined to tear down her walls and give her my everything.

Scarlett:

Forgetting a mind-blowing one-night stand is apparently very easy when he’s a complete jerk. And when your life turns upside down soon after.

But all that forgetting is wasted when I find myself in, let’s say, professional need of a husband and Bennett Wilson is more than eager to volunteer as tribute. There’s just one—or, rather two small things—I come as a package deal. So it’s not just my heart on the line in this mess, but theirs too.

Seeing Bennett give my sister guitar lessons and teach my little brother how to skate has my resolve slipping more and more each day. So, naturally, I decide our little arrangement needs some boundaries. Rules that the captain swears were made to be broken. I just hope that, when all is said and done, our hearts don’t become collateral damage.

What It Must Be is a spicy, marriage of convenience romance featuring a grumpy hockey captain and the single guardian he can’t help but drop down on one knee for.
