Solstice Hearts

Irish NHL superstar Cillian O'Rourke is used to getting exactly what he wants. The wins, the headlines, and the revolving door of women. Hockey's favorite bad boy has the whole world charmed.

Except for Margot Prescott, a sommelier at Napa Valley's Solstice Estates. She's a people-pleasing perfectionist who keeps her anxiety carefully hidden and her heart guarded by one strict rule: no athletes.

Especially not the arrogant playboy who got her fired six years ago and barely remembers her name.

But when Solstice signs Cillian as the celebrity face of their new wine label, Margot is stuck playing gracious host to the last man she'd ever choose. Bold, cocky, and impossible to ignore, he stands out like a pint of Guinness in a room full of Champagne.

A few rounds of sparring, and Cillian has met a challenge he can't skate past. Once he sets his sights on something, he doesn't quit, and her rule only sweetens the chase. From the vineyards in Napa to the pubs of Dublin, forced proximity has a way of breaking things wide open.

And when the tension between them finally snaps, it could cost Margot her heart.

Because in Cillian's world, nothing interferes with the game.

Until Margot.
