Playing For Love - Paperback

by Charlene Groome (Author)

He's the hottest hockey player on the west coast, and his team's just won the Stanley Cup - now he's going after the real prize, winning back the girl he left behind.

Mason Scott's motto is, 'if you don't take chances, you aren't living.' After his team's big win, Mason had more on his mind than relaxing and enjoying some downtime. He was going back to his hometown of Moonlight Valley, Washington to make Emily Hill his. Lots of dedication and hard work, along with keeping the partying to a minimum had paid off once, and applying that same tenacity he reserved for the game to winning back his feisty sexy blonde friend from childhood was next on his agenda. His plan was to make her love him all over again and Mason would accept nothing less than to win her heart.

Tragedy has struck Emily Hill's family. With the passing of her mother, her father's illness, and their business close to bankruptcy, the last three years have been nothing less than challenging. For a rare girls-night-out, Emily can't believe her eyes when she sees her ex-lover hoisting the game-winning trophy at the crowded local bar. She'd known Mason since she was a young girl but once he became a sports star he left her and the rest of the town without a second thought. Sure he's been back from time to time, but fortunately she's been able to avoid him during his visits. But now she's feeling guilty about their past, and she may have to come clean and tell him the truth...a secret she's kept from him for far too long. The hardest part - she's afraid she'll fall for him all over again.
