Five years ago, then 25-year-old Faith married 86-year-old Virgil Duffy, millionaire owner of the Seattle Chinooks NHL team. Now she's become a widow. Virgil left her enough money to live comfortably for the rest of her life, but surprisingly, he also left Faith his hockey team. And what does she know about hockey? She never attended any games with Virgil and took no interest in any of his business dealings.

As she becomes involved in the day-to-day management of the team, the press is more interested in her past than her plans for the team and its future. You see, Faith is a former stripper and Playmate of the Year. (She met Virgil at the Playboy Mansion.) She also finds herself the boss of Ty Savage, the recently acquired "golden boy" captain of the Chinooks. She and Ty do not get off to a good start, but neither seems to be able to get the other out of their head. Where will this relationship go? It seems headed for disaster from the start.

All Faith really ever wanted in life was security, comfort and enough money not to have any worries. Now that she has all that, Faith discovers she really doesn't know who she is. She thought she knew as Virgil Duffy's trophy wife, but now things are not so crystal clear. Can she forget who she was in the past and move forward? Can everyone else forget her past?

You will love Faith's determination to become involved in the management of her hockey team and to understand the game -- and Ty Savage. You will find yourself cheering her team on as they endeavor to win the Stanley Cup. And you will love the person Faith realizes she can become. This book is a real page-turner; you won't want to put it down!

Book Summary

Disaster Number One: Men

Hard knocks and hunger taught Faith Duffy not to believe in love. Still, when she married her very wealthy—and very old—husband, she became the perfect wife. And then he went to that big bank in the sky, leaving Faith with lonely nights, a pile of money, and a total mess of a pro hockey team. Heck, Faith doesn't even watch hockey!

Disaster Number Two: Passion

But most of America and half of Canada is watching Ty Savage. His lethal sex appeal and deadly right hook make him the favorite of fans. For most of Ty's life, he's dreamed of winning the Stanley Cup. The last thing he needs is a bimbo messing up his plans.

Disaster Number Three: Love

Faith loathes Ty on sight, but she can't stop thinking about him all day . . . and night. Then a moment of temptation ends with Faith in Ty's bed, and she begins to see there's more to him than sex appeal. Ty discovers there's far more to Faith than beauty and billions. But a relationship with Faith is impossible, and falling in love—that would be a disaster.
