"Shy, newly single Darcy Andersen needs to gain confidence in relationships, and who's going to help her? Hayden Owens--the hottest defenseman in pro hockey, her outgoing best friend, and her new dating coach. Hayden teaches her the art of being a player, but convinces her to practice with him. They've been friends for years, but their flirting lessons and practice kisses push the bounds of friendship. They're roommates but sleeping in the same bed. He buys her a toy as a favor . . . but helps her use it. All that relationship stuff Hayden's always avoided? He doesn't seem to mind it anymore. Rule number one of being a player is no attachments, but when Hayden sees her picking up other guys, he's jealous enough that Darcy wonders . . . maybe her wingman's been waiting for her all along." -- Provided by publisher.
