Caught on thin ice between desire and legacy...Scottish-born hockey player Ian Campbell is so much more than a professional athlete and he has the birthright to prove it. But all he cares about is the next championship. Not his law degree and not the weight of the family legacy waiting for him back home; but time is running out on the deal he made with his grandfather. While home for the summer, a gorgeous American stumbles into the local pub and provides him the perfect distraction.
Photojournalist Everly Adamson finds herself in Scotland on the business trip of a lifetime. A past mired in secrets and betrayal fades away when she’s behind the lens of her camera; nothing and no one can take that feeling away. Even though a handsome, professional athlete moonlighting as her knight in shining armor is trying to distract her— and she can’t seem to stay away.
As their summer romance intensifies, neither of them is prepared for the collision of their two worlds. Ian’s family legacy prevents him from trusting her, and Everly refuses to love a man who won’t. The resolution may be more than either of them can afford...
About the Author:
USA Today Bestselling and award-winning author Kat Mizera is a South Florida native. Born in Miami Beach with a healthy dose of wanderlust, she's called Los Angeles, Long Island, upstate New York, Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Atlanta home. She's never been able to pick which locale is her favorite, but if pressed, she'd probably choose the west coast.
A typical PTA mom with a wonderful and supportive husband (Kevin) and two amazing boys (Nick and Max), Kat can usually be found scrapbooking or indulging in her second love (after writing) - traveling. Greece is one of her favorite places in the world. She loves that Athens is a big city with a small-town feel. The food, beaches and culture keep her going back as often as possible.
Kat's been a working freelance writer for nearly 30 years. She sold her first article--a review of a rock concert--for $10 in 1985. Since then she's been an entertainment journalist, waitress, bartender, legal assistant, food critic, magazine editor, substitute teacher, and sports writer. She also spent some time working at A & M Records in Los Angeles.
As you can guess from her Las Vegas Sidewinders series, Kat loves hockey and occasionally writes articles about her favorite team, the Florida Panthers. The rest of the time, she writes novels: sexy, romantic fiction that she hopes makes you as happy as it makes her. There's something enticing about hockey players and romance...

Elizabeth's Review
3.5 Stars - Worth a Reader's Time
Review Copy Provided by Author
Ms Mizera is a newer author for me, but that didn't stop me from diving right into Ian's story. This book is the 15th (wow!) in a series, but read as a complete stand alone, I didn't have any trouble getting to know Ian, his teammates, family, or Everly (his romantic interest)
One word of caution, if you are expecting a heavy hockey story, then this isn't it. This story takes place mostly in the off season, so it's not so much a hockey story, but a story where the hero happens to be a hockey player.
I enjoyed getting to know both Ian and Everly. They were interesting characters with a lot going on in terms of family drama on both sides. My struggle that kept this from being a full 4 star read was the source of the conflict. While it was authentic to Everly's history, the way it was introduced felt forced and over blown. There were so many potential issues these two were dealing with that there were lots of options to force them apart. The issue that was picked plus Ian's explanation of things just seemed a little off to me.
Even with my conflict over the conflict, this was an entertaining read and seemed to be a good bridge for what will be coming in the future of the Sidewinders series. Ms Mizera does an excellent job of weaving teammates and family into the story so that I am looking forward to reading more.
