Back Check

von Kelly Jamieson

The so-bad-they're-good alphas of hockey's Chicago Aces are back in this emotionally charged novel of sex, love, and second chances from the bestselling author of Top Shelf and the Heller Brothers series.

Tanner Bennet hates weddings. They just remind him that he simply isn't cut out for any kind of healthy, committed relationship-never has been, never will be. After getting rejected by the girl he thought was "the one" all those years ago, he made a huge mistake and married the wrong person. Now that the divorced heartbreaker has reluctantly agreed to be a groomsman for one of his NHL teammates, the last thing he expects is a chance at redemption with the one that got away.

After Marc Dupuis of the Chicago Aces hires wedding planner Katelyn Medford, she discovers that her big break comes with a twist: a reunion with her college sweetheart. The way she dumped Tanner still haunts her. Eight years-and three broken engagements-later, Katelyn knows she'll never have that kind of innocent, wide-eyed passion again. Still, she and Tanner soon generate enough body heat to burn up the sheets. And even with Tanner's career with the Aces up in the air, Katelyn's wondering whether the time is right to let him in for real.
