As the league’s most eligible goalie, Max Fournier has access to his fair share of willing puck bunnies, but right now he’s more interested in bringing home another championship than a one-night stand. A romantic at heart, Max believes in love; he’s just not great at relationships. So when he finally meets a nice girl who’s not blinded by his celebrity, he’s feeling the heat—and the pressure to save her from herself.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBetween working two jobs and raising her sister’s kids, Julianne Bradley doesn’t have time for sports—or men. All she knows about Max is that he’s the sexiest customer to ever grace her gas-station counter. And he sees past her tired eyes and makes Jules yearn for things she can’t have: a glamorous fling, a passionate lover, and the time to enjoy both. Max makes her feel like Cinderella, even though Jules has enough baggage to crush a glass slipper. Luckily, he’s no prince—only a fierce competitor determined to win her heart.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Carolina Cold Fury series from \u003ci\u003eNew York Times \u003c\/i\u003ebestselling author Sawyer Bennett can be read together or separately:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e ALEX\u003cbr\u003e GARRETT\u003cbr\u003e ZACK\u003cbr\u003e RYKER\u003cbr\u003e HAWKE\u003cbr\u003e MAX\u003cbr\u003e ROMAN\u003cbr\u003e LUCAS\u003cbr\u003e VAN\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eThe Love Hurts series features sexy standalone novels:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e SEX IN THE STICKS\u003cbr\u003e JILTED\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eAnd the Sugar Bowl series is one treat you’ll want to read in order:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e SUGAR DADDY\u003cbr\u003e SUGAR RUSH\u003cbr\u003e SUGAR FREE\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e“One of the best voices in contemporary romance.”—\u003ci\u003eNew York Times \u003c\/i\u003ebestselling author Lauren Layne\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePraise for \u003ci\u003eMax\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“I really loved Max and Jules’s story. . . .
