The Hockey Experiment

Date a hockey player?? Why the heck would she want to do that? But study him? Sign her up for that experiment! Except when Dr. Valentina Hargrove meets the captain of the Alexandria Eagles, Brock "The Rock" Thomson, she isn't sure her original hypothesis that hockey players are Stone Age throwbacks stands up. Stock options and impressive IQs weren't on her checklist. Brock may have the requisite scary scar, but it's on a sexy, after-shave scented, rock-hard jaw-and he chews his food with his mouth closed. Only she can't date him-her proposal guidelines are strict. She is to study hockey players to determine whether they are modern cavemen. Hockey stick/club-same, same. Even their dental issues make the similarities seem academic. Except Brock's manly come, now, mine routine seems to answer the one question plaguing women since the beginning of time: what is it about men that women find so irresistible? His desire to make her his isn't just about him making fire to impress her and finding them a nice fur-lined cave with a picket fence for their happily ever after. He's more than a guy with a wooden stick, putting Val's whole study in jeopardy and the team's path to victory when they discover she's also the daughter of the Eagles' new owner...
