Play With Me

Playing for Keeps #2 / 5
by Becka Mack
Play With Me (Playing for Keeps #2) by Becka Mack
Unrated

I’m the star right winger for the Vancouver Vipers, an unstoppable force, fast as lightning. My dream come true, and I’ve worked my whole life to get here. I don’t plan on giving it up, but if I want to keep playing hockey, I’m going to need all my limbs. To ensure my body parts stay intact, I only need to follow one simple rule.

Don’t touch my captain’s little sister.

Seems easy enough. She’s snarky and bossy and has a mouth like a sailor. Truthfully, I’m bordering on the edge of terrified when she’s around.

The problem is I’ve seen too much. Too much of her, inside and out. And now? Now I want more.

But she’s my best friend’s little sister, and nobody’s ever been as off limits as Jennie Beckett is to me.

Her collection of toys is impressive, but I plan on showing her how a real man can make her vibrate without all the batteries. These hands can handle a hockey stick; surely they can handle her.

C’mon, Jennie. Play with me.

Becka Mack

Becka Mack’s writing career started in a way that many could never predict—after experiencing a deeply personal loss. What began as an outlet for grief turned into a passion that connected her with readers from all walks of life. Known for her emotionally layered, steamy romances, Becka’s stories are packed with humor, heartache, and unforgettable characters who tug at your heartstrings long after the last page is turned.

When Becka isn’t channeling her sarcasm and wit into her characters or crafting emotional roller coasters, you can find her juggling her other roles as a kindergarten teacher and mom. Her little boy, who definitely takes after her, and her collection of animals provide plenty of material for her social media musings and occasional distractions. But writing always finds its way into her heart, especially when it comes to weaving together her favorite themes: healing, love, and finding the strength to push through life’s toughest moments.
