Happy Release

Overtime by Toni Aleo
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Down and out with an injury keeping him away from the game,
Assassins’ defenseman Jordie Thomas lives for the blades of his skates on the
ice and the feeling of oblivion off it. With no choice but to heal, he’s forced
away from the sport that runs through his veins. With everything at stake and
darkness setting in, he quickly finds himself spiraling even further out of
control. As his life begins to come crashing down around him and his contract
with the Nashville Assassins on the line, he’s given an ultimatum. Ready or
not, Jordie is forced to face his past, the fears that consume him, and the one
woman he let walk away.
Kacey King had her professional dreams come true, yet her
heart was battered and broken. With an Olympic gold medal around her neck,
she’s ready to look forward to the future but without the one man she wanted in
it. She’s missing the key pieces of her heart she left months ago with the only
person who was capable of destroying it, causing her to falter in all her plans
to move on.
>In the game of life, there are winners and losers,
and neither Jordie nor Kacey want to be on the losing bench. If only Jordie
could convince Kacey he’s a changed man and that he wants her right by his side
as his MVP for the biggest and best parts of a life they build together. With
emotions running high and the game on the line, can two proud people find
happiness with each other, or will their hearts and souls be left in the cold?
Will they see that sometimes having someone by your side who knows the good,
bad, and broken is better than going it alone and losing everything through the
back of the net? They are out of time on the game clock and fighting for the
win of their lives.
But overtime was made for an Assassin like
Jordie.

Excerpt
Jordie Thomas knew he was
screwed.
There were two things that he didn’t want, ever, in his
life.
Herpes, and to be called into Elli Adler’s
office.
Everyone knew that it wasn’t good to be called into the office
of the owner of the professional hockey team he played for, the Nashville
Assassins. If it was something good, usually she just called to chitchat, as
she called it, and dote on her players. But when she called them into her
office, ten out of ten times, they were
screwed.
And today, Jordie must be
screwed.
As his good leg bounced from the nerves, Jordie waited for the
door to open to Elli’s office. His shoulders were taut, his other knee ached,
and his heart was pounding. Ever since he got the call that she wanted him to
fly from Colorado to Nashville for a meeting, he had been replaying every
single scenario in his head. He hadn’t been making the greatest decisions
lately, and he was pretty damn sure this had to do with his spur-of-the-moment
vacation to
Louisiana.
He should have just stayed
home.
That whole trip was a clusterfuck. That’s the only way he
could describe it. He hadn’t acted like himself, he kept trying to forget a
certain someone, and he really should have just stayed home and healed. Not
only had it pushed him back a week in PT but now he was worried that something
he did there may be back to haunt him. As he replayed the weekend, which
consisted of a lot of alcohol, a lot of women, and a good long visit in the ER
that resulted in even more great sex, he couldn’t find anything out of the ordinary
that could have brought him here. Then again, Elli didn’t like when her
players’ whore-like tendencies hung out, but still, she usually called and
warned them to clean it
up.
Hell, he had gotten that call plenty of times. Maybe that’s
why he was here? She was done with his ways? Damn it. Hopefully, that wasn’t it
though. He was on the road to recovery after a really nasty hit into the boards
last year, and nothing was going to keep him off the
ice.
Well, except Elli Adler, that is.
