Reclaim

He can block every shot on the ice…except the one straight to his heart.

Victor Reed has crushed opponents on the ice for over a decade''but nothing knocks the grumpy, foul-mouthed defenseman off his game like being forced to share his off-season home with his four-year-old whirlwind niece, Pip…and her maddeningly cheerful nanny.

Belle is all sunshine and sparkles, the kind of woman who hums while she folds laundry and believes every problem can be solved with kindness. Victor's convinced she was sent to torment him -- until she downloads a dating app and starts lining up dates with men who are absolutely wrong for her.

He's not jealous. Definitely not.

He's just…protective. And if he ‘accidentally' scares off a few of her suitors? Well, someone has to keep her safe.

But when Belle's big heart starts drifting out of his orbit, Victor is forced to face the truth: the Baltimore Stingrays' resident beast has fallen for his beauty. And if he doesn't change his game fast, he might lose the only woman who's ever made his house -- and his life -- feel like home.
