Chocolate is the only way to this confectioner's heart-until a gorgeous hockey player becomes her man candy . . . Fresh from studying chocolate making in Europe, Kenley Hunter is ready to build her own business, Confection Consultations. Sinful truffles and exotic chocolates are her only passion-as the idea of romance is about as appealing as a piece of stale candy. A natural beauty, Kenley has been judged more often for her appearance than anything she's accomplished, but people respect her knowledge and wizardry with chocolate-focusing on the delights she serves rather than what she looks like. Throwing herself into her career allows her to avoid romance-as her biggest fear is that once a man gets past her beauty, he will be disappointed in what he will find. When sexy hockey player Nate Johansson defends Kenley's desire to be herself in a photoshoot-by ripping off his jersey and volunteering to be the eye candy a magazine is trying to force her to be-her plans to avoid romance begin to fall like a bad souffle. Will Kenley be brave enough to take a chance on romance with Nate? Or will fears of the past freeze this game of love before the puck is dropped?
