Mile High: Windy City Series, Book 1 By Liz Tomforde (2022)
Evan Zanders, Chicago hockey's notorious bad boy, revels in his role as the team's favorite player to hate. Known for spending more time in the penalty box than on the ice, he pairs each game with a new girl on his arm. His ego is as impenetrable as the ice he skates on, and he enjoys every moment of his bad-boy persona. The latest addition to the team's private plane crew, Stevie, a seasoned flight attendant, is unimpressed by Evan's antics.
Assigned to work for the egotistical hockey player, Stevie faces a challenge dealing with Evan's self-righteous demeanor. Evan, accustomed to having things his way, plans to remind Stevie of her role, confident that by the end of the season, she'll be eager to quit. However, the dynamics change during the team's road trips, and Evan finds himself pushing Stevie's buttons more than he intended.
Stevie, with a strict policy against dating athletes, grapples with Evan's undeniable charm. While she despises his diva reputation, she can't deny the attraction growing beneath the surface. As the lines between animosity and desire blur, Stevie wonders if Evan might be more than the bad boy she perceives him to be.
Their journey unfolds against the backdrop of a chaotic hockey season, where the game extends beyond the rink into uncharted territory for both Evan and Stevie. 📚❤️
