Auctioned to the Bossy Brawler (Soltero Beach Scorpions Hockey Book 2)

On the ice, he fights for his team. Off the ice, he’ll fight for a curvy fashion designer’s heart–and he doesn’t lose. LEO I’m known for fighting to protect what’s mine – my team, my family, my woman. And from the moment Nina Esperanza struts onto the charity auction stage in my designs, I know the plus sized beauty is meant for me. Our chemistry is instant and undeniable, but I screwed it up. Now she thinks I got all I wanted in that backstage room. Nothing could be further from the truth, and I’ll do anything for a second chance to prove what I want is her – even if it costs me the one thing I swore I’d never risk again… my heart. NINA People call me provocative, ambitious, and wild. I call it going after what I want. And I want Leonid Aslanov. When he wins me in a date auction, I offer him more than he bargained for. But I never expect the big, bossy, on-ice beast to ghost me afterwards. I learned a long time ago not to wait around for anyone who doesn’t want me. So when he resurfaces, demanding I work for him, I should tell him where to shove it. Except Leo fights for what he wants. And soon, I realize what he wants… is all of me. ___ Auctioned to the Bossy Brawler is a sweet and steamy multicultural hockey romance novella featuring a protective, besotted hero who’s been burned, and a sassy, speaks-her-mind bi+ heroine who won’t accept less than what she deserves.
