Top Shelf: A marriage of convenience hockey romance

By Hailey Rodger

A marriage of convenience hockey romance

Heidi Grant has spent her career helping elite athletes reclaim their dreams. Now, the sports physical therapist is ready to take a shot on a dream of her own. She has the vision and credentials, but she doesn't have the funding-and her lease deadline is fast approaching.

Viktor Karlsson also has a deadline. The tattooed Swedish NHL player needs a wife.

Unfortunately, Viktor doesn't believe in marriage. His only long-term commitment is to his motorcycle. Heidi has never been particularly interested in forever either, but she does believe in mutually beneficial contracts.

And if sleeping together becomes part of their contract too, so what? Unresolved tension is terrible for productivity.

Except the longer they pretend, the less simple it feels. Viktor never asks Heidi to change any part of herself, and their temporary marriage slowly becomes a future she wants to keep. But when Heidi's dream is pulled into Viktor's spotlight, the line between being supported or swallowed gets dangerously thin.

Their marriage was supposed to save two dreams. Now Viktor hopes Heidi is willing to take a shot on one more-and send it top shelf.

Top Shelf is book one in a new sports romance series of interconnected stand-alones, from the author of the bestselling Colorado Storm hockey romance series, Hailey Rodger.
