Publisher Description
He’s always made the scoring plays, both on and off the ice, but this time he has a new goal … the one for Meghan’s heart.
I’m Justin Davis, all-star center for the Charlotte Strikers. For years, I chased the spotlight, not only with hockey, but through television as well. That’s why I decided to play the bachelor on Rich and Single. Unfortunately, I was stuck with a fake fiancée from hell who I couldn’t stand to be around. Now that our contract is up, I’m allowed to do whatever I want, with whoever I want. I plan to take full advantage of my newfound freedom.
After being on the show, people don’t recognize me for hockey anymore, even with just winning the Stanley Cup for my team. That’s why I’m spending the off season in a remote cabin in Wyoming where the chances of people knowing me are slim. Space is what I need, but when a down to earth beauty needs help on her ranch, I can’t resist. Meghan Taylor is exactly what I’ve been looking for, even though I’m not the kind of man she wants.
Getting her to see the real me has its challenges, but the more time I spend with her, the easier it is for her to see that I’m not the same guy she knows from TV. Being away from the media is one thing, but as soon as I go back in the spotlight, I’m afraid it’ll change what we have. I don’t want to lose her, but I also can’t hide away in Wyoming forever. It’s a choice I’m not ready to make.

An enjoyable read
L.P.Dover is a new author to me and I have absolutely no idea why that is, particularly since I adore hockey stories. I had no trouble reading Off The Ice as a stand alone. Now that I have found her I will be sure to go back and read other books as and when time permits.
Justin Davis is a player for the Charlotte Strikers. After stepping in and replacing his brother in law on the television show Rich and Single, he is finally free of the nightmare commitment he had to his fake fiance.
After scoring the winning goal which led to a Stanley Cup win, Justin is off to a remote cabin in Wyoming for some rest and relaxation. That is until his neighbour Meghan Taylor needs help on her ranch and he offers his assistance.
Meghan and her daughter have struggled for 8 years since the death of her husband and the ranch is badly in need of repairs. When Justin offers his assistance the attraction is there but can he get Meghan to see the man who lies beneath the surface?
Will Meghan take a chance of finding happiness or will the pressures of the outside world and Justin's career prove to be too much?
Justin is totally swoon worthy and I fell for his hard and fast, there is so much more to him that meets the eye. I admire Meghan’s strength and determination to carry on the ranch. These two are meant to be together and I really cheered for them to get their happily ever after.
