Andre freaking Beaumont.

Sin Bin is book 2 in the Blades Hockey series.

Zoe Mackenzie is a 27 year old PR Coordinator. She is currently living with her dad in Boston. A year ago, Zoe was making her mark in the PR world. UNTIL THAT NIGHT… The night that changed everything. Zoe succumbed to her feelings that she had for her then friend and client, Andre. Unfortunately, a security camera caught them in action, causing her to lose everything, and now no PR firm will touch her.

Andre Beaumont is an enforcer for the Boston Blades. He spends a majority of his time on the ice in the Sin Bin (Penalty Box). He is a mean machine and takes no prisoners. And off the ice, he has gotten a reputation of being a cold like ice. Sponsors are dropping him, and is reputation has hit an all time low. He has one last chance to turn his rep around. One last chance with the help of a new PR firm in Boston, to help salvage what is left of his image. He gets the surprise of his life, when he walks into the office, and the woman he hasn’t spoken to in a year is sitting across from him.

This job is Zoe’s last chance to save her career. The last thing she needs is Andre stirring up old wounds that haven’t fully healed. Their memories of their friendship and the reminders of ‘that night’ continue to follow her. She knows the real Andre, and even though she is telling herself that she doesn’t need him like that anymore, her body has other plans.

Andre was everything. The effect that these two have on each other just by being in the same space was something else. But Andre has a secret that he refuses to let loose. And until he is ready to let that go and let her fully in, the two of them will never be able to move forward.

When he comes to terms that he is going to lose her…again, if he doesn’t let go. He decides to make a grand gesture. And what a grand gesture it is.

”Baby,” he murmurs, his voice pitched low, “if you’re watching this, and I hope to hell that you couldn’t resist doing so, I’m ready to live for you too. I’m standing here open, f*cking vulnerable in nothing but a bathing suit and piercings. I’m yours. Now and forever. The only time I’m landing in the sin bin after this is on the ice — but off it? Not a chance.”
