Matched with the Player
by Joanne Rock

Hockey star Kyle Murphy pursues matchmaker Marissa with the same single minded purpose that she pursues him- except that he wants her for himself and she wants him for someone else!

Matchmaker Marissa Collins needs to grow her database of high-end dating prospects if she wants to retain her demanding client list. Scouting Philadelphia's newest hockey star seemed like a good idea -- until the notorious playmaker makes a move on her. She's never mixed business with pleasure, and she can hardly start now when a high priority client has requested an introduction to the town's hottest bachelor.

Power forward Kyle Murphy may lead the league in goals, but scoring with a sexy matchmaker forces him to rethink his game. Marissa only sees him as a prospect for her stable full of commitment-minded single women, so Kyle has to make a new play to get her to see him in a new light. It's a tied game poised for a shootout. Can playmaker Kyle find a way for them both to win?

Joanne Rock's Bio

Four-time RITA finalist Joanne Rock has never met a romance sub-genre she didn't like. The USA Today bestselling author of over eighty books enjoys writing a wide range of stories, most recently focusing on sexy contemporaries and small-town family sagas. An optimist by nature and perpetual seeker of silver linings, Joanne finds romance fits her life outlook perfectly---love is worth fighting for. A frequent speaker at regional and national writing conferences she enjoys giving back to the writing community that nurtured and inspired her early career. She has a Masters degree in Literature from the University of Louisville but credits her fiction writing skills to her intensive study with friend and fellow author Catherine Mann. When she's not writing, Joanne enjoys travel to gather new ideas.
