Play Thing by Cassie-Ann L. Miller

A bad boy hockey captain who can’t seem to stay out of trouble?
Totally not my style.
So this new job as his live-in assistant should be a breeze. Right?

After Ronan Brighton’s latest scandal, I’m assigned to supervise him around the clock. But when my PR job has me moving into the guesthouse of his secluded home, I start seeing Ronan in a whole new light.
He’s more than just a troublemaking hockey star. He’s the man who wakes up at the crack of dawn to practice, even on his days off. He’s the man who gives impromptu hockey lessons to his tiniest fans.
But I won’t fall for him. I’m determined to prove to everyone that I’ve got my career all figured out.
And when he witnesses me getting brutally dumped on my birthday, I’m forced to admit that I have zero clue in the romance department.
Ronan says I need practice in that area. After all, practice is important. Now, he’s volunteered to be my…’study buddy’, if you will.
He wants to be my plaything. But I won’t let him use my heart as a toy.

Play Thing is a steamy, laugh-out-loud, small town, forced proximity, grumpy/sunshine hockey romance. It is set in small town Iowa and is book three in the Brighton Family Series.
