Hatefully Yours by Roxanne Tully

Temptation is strong in this series of three forbidden love stories as key players and one hot coach fall for the sassy, off-limits women of Hollyville. Hatefully Yours is Book 2 in the Blades of Heart Hockey Series and can be read as a standalone.

Angel
People said I’d never hit the ice again after my humiliating fall on national television. Now, after 2 years, I prove them wrong. At least in private…when I sneak into the Buffalo Blades arena—Dad won’t mind. Being the coach’s daughter has its perks.
Until the lead defenseman, Jace Knight, catches me here. Of all people, it had to be the one who hates me. And he’s having a ball throwing his crude comments and ice shavings in my direction.
To my surprise, he doesn’t laugh when I fall. Instead, he offers to help me get my groove back.
But there’s a catch—a quid pro quo.
He needs my help too. To win over one of the Ice Girls he’s been pining after. He won’t tell me which—but I think I know. And I hate that she’s perfect for him.

Jace
There’s no way I’m telling Angel Collins—Coach’s daughter and the only Ice Girl immune to my charm—the real reason I’m back on the ice every night. But helping her just might be the perfect cover I need to mend myself from a recent injury.
But she’ll never buy that I’m doing this out of the goodness of my heart. Pretending I need love advice works just fine for me. And the irritated expression on her face every time I’m around the Ice Girls—well that’s just icing on the cake.
