Erik Sørenson. Fast. Hot. Electrifying. With a grin that could melt ice. My life was going just fine here in Brooklyn where I've lived all my life. Then, the player they call the Nordic Lightning came skating into it. What I know about hockey I could fit on the tip of my little finger. I know even less about Erik Sørenson.

I've learned he's the playmaker, the one that helps his teammates score - both on and off the ice.

Andrew Mercier. Cocky. Enigmatic. Seductive as sin. Appearing when and where I least expect him. Is he just a chameleon? Or a wolf in sheep's clothing?

Including the fact that I have my eye set on a valuable painting that disappeared in Occupied France during WWII.
