See, I've been told I'm the "good time girl", not the one you take home to Mom. And while that label stung at first, I've since embraced it - living the wild and free life and sticking to a three-date max. That's just enough time to have some fun and snuff out the possibility of catching feelings. And it's been working for me for years...until Makoa Kumaka.

Aleksander Suter has been Mia's best friend since high school—and the only man who's ever been able to truly get under her skin.

Grace is all too aware of the hot, broody defenseman for the Tampa Bay Ospreys, with his icy blue eyes and ink sprawling his muscular arms - and she has far too much fun testing Jaxson at every turn.

But when the universe throws Grace and Jaxson back together two weeks later on a secret road trip, all bets are off.
