IRRESISTIBLE YOU kicks of the all new, scorching Chicago Rebels hockey series by Kate Meader, featuring her signature “steamy sex scenes, colorful characters, and riveting dialogue” (Romantic Times). Three estranged sisters inherit their late father’s failing hockey franchise and are forced to confront a man’s world, their family’s demons, and the battle-hardened ice warriors skating into their hearts.
Harper Chase has just become the most powerful woman in the NHL after the death of her father Clifford Chase, maverick owner of the Chicago Rebels. But the team is a hot mess—underfunded, overweight, and close to tapping out of the league. Hell-bent on turning the luckless franchise around, Harper won’t let anything stand in her way. Not her gender, not her sisters, and especially not a veteran player with an attitude problem and a smoldering gaze designed to melt her ice-compacted defenses.
Veteran center Remy “Jinx” DuPre is on the downside of a career that’s seen him win big sponsorships, fans’ hearts, and more than a few notches on his stick. Only one goal has eluded him: the Stanley Cup. Sure, he’s been labeled as the unluckiest guy in the league, but with his recent streak of good play, he knows this is his year. So why the hell is he being shunted off to a failing hockey franchise run by a ball-buster in heels? And is she seriously expecting him to lead her band of misfit losers to a coveted spot in the playoffs?
He’d have a better chance of leading Harper on a merry skate to his bed…

Excerpt provided by Pocket ebooks––
“Remy!” A tall redhead wearing what
looked like a band of gauze lassoing two Goodyear blimps threw her arms around
his neck. “I can’t believe you’re here!”
The new arrival practically knocked
Harper out of the way, pretzeled her stacked body around Remy’s, and sucked on
the Cajun’s lips like an anteater. It took him a good three and a half
seconds—but who was counting?—before he drew back.
“Have we met, chérie?”
“We have now, Jinx,” she purred. “I
just wanted to welcome you to Chi-Town. Properly.”
His mouth hardened slightly. “Well,
it sure is a pleasure, but right now I’m kind of in the middle of something, so
I’ll have to take a rain check.” His eyes flickered over the woman’s shoulder
to where Harper was sipping on her whiskey, enjoying the show. She had a
perfect view of the woman’s tramp stamp—the positively poetic Get Some with an
arrow pointing down—along with her above-the-waistband leopardprint thong.
Goodyear Blimps speared a look
designed to put Harper six feet under twice over and then quickly recalibrated
her smile for Remy. From her cleavage, she extracted a (crumpled, undoubtedly
sweatstained) business card and placed it in Remy’s jeans pocket. It took a few
moments to ensure it was safely secured.
“The welcome offer is open-ended,
Jinx.”
Another wince crossed Remy’s face,
though Goodyear missed it as she was too busy trying to maintain her center of
gravity on her totter toward the bar.
“ ‘The welcome offer is open-ended,
Jinx ,’ ” Harper mimicked in her most breathless gush, adding a bout of
vehement eyelash batting into the mix.
“Meader’s strength is creating characters who live, breathe, and jump off the page; Remy and Harper shine, and the supporting cast of characters, including Harper’s half-sisters, is very strong. The mix of sexual tension and emotional decisions will lead Meader’s series launch to many a keeper shelf.”
—Publishers Weekly STARRED REVIEW
“Meader takes her readers on a breathtaking, non-stop, glorious ride. The sex scenes are lyrically written with fresh, descriptive prose. Enough is included about hockey to add its fast rhythm to the book. Remy’s family is multi-faceted and fills the pages with joy. Readers will love the relationship between Remy and Harper, and will be excited for the next story — Isobel’s.”
