One Hot Night — Samantha Hunter

She's been there, done that -- but never with the sexy hockey player next door.

Dating, marriage, divorce…Audra Leone has been there, done that. These days she's focused on her antiques business and doesn't need a man complicating her life.

Still, she can't help but notice the flirty ex-hockey player who owns the sports bar next door, but he's got two strikes against him. He's her landlord, and he's almost ten years younger -- which puts Audra way outside the flock of twenty-somethings vying for his attention.

When Scott Beckett sees Audra hasn't closed shop during a major snowstorm, he checks in on her -- to find her shackled to a post. He's more than happy to help and close the distance she keeps firmly between them. He's well over his playboy days and hungering for something stronger, something lasting.

One spontaneous, bone-melting kiss leads to an explosive night of passion, and Scott realizes the quiet antiques lady is everything he craves. But it'll take some doing -- and maybe a disaster or two -- to convince her to give forever a chance.

Warning: Contains a wounded heroine who's put her heart on ice, and an ex-jock who still knows how to run interference on her defenses. Could have you wishing for snow in July.
