At First Smile

Disability advocate Pen Meadows is on a mission; grab a breakfast sandwich, find her gate, and listen to her smutty audiobook. Only, the sexy, tall man in front of her at Tim Hortons may prove a worthwhile distraction. His soft Irish lilt and mix of gruff sweetness make Rowan Iverson unlike any man she's ever met. After a brief meet/cute, and even briefer goodbye, the social media influencer ends up seated beside Rowan on a cross-country flight.

Rowan Iverson desperately wants to get back to Los Angeles without calling further attention to himself. A potentially career-ending incident at hockey's biggest game could transform the NHL's top defenseman into its most hated player. The last thing he wants is for his mess to trip up Pen. A mid-flight detour forces him to realize that his goal to resist her bright smile may be a game he's already lost.

Back in the reality of their jobs and lives in Los Angeles, Pen learns that the man she'd spent one incredible night with isn't who she thought. He's a player and Pen doesn't play games, especially when her heart is at stake. Can Rowan prove to Pen that he is who he wants to be...just hers?
