Former hockey phenom Eric Fairburn's got 99 problems, but determination ain't one.

It was karma. When our eyes met across the crowded bar, I was drawn magnetically. Beyond her beauty and supple body, it was her unshakeable calm I craved—she was the yin to my yang.

Still when she immediately suggested we go to my place for sex, I nearly dropped my drink. But once we got into my truck, and she saw proof of my messed-up past, she bailed. Gone without even leaving her Cinderella slipper.

Now I can't stop thinking about her. In a city of over two million people, how do I find a woman with no name, no connections, nothing? If it's destiny, I will find her and convince her that I'm more than a loser with a DUI. And then we can explore our incredible connection.

Except I'm right in the middle of the biggest hockey tryout of my life—with backstabbing teammates who want to see me fail and a coach who's got a hate-on for me.

Sure, I've got problems, but she's not going to be one of them.

This is the first book in the series about the Vancouver Vice hockey team.
