The new sexy contemporary romance in New York Times bestselling author Lorelei James’s Want You series, set in Minneapolis–St. Paul. Hockey player Gabriella “Gabi” Welk spent her life in pursuit of championships, but she has little to show for it besides dusty trophies and second-place medals. Now her career consists of several part-time jobs to make ends meet. When Gabi gets a chance at her dream job, she swallows her pride and asks her nemesis—smart, sexy and savvy Nolan Lund—for help. Since being named future CEO of Lund Industries, Nolan has tried hard to overcome his reputation as a fun-loving playboy and ladies’ man. For the first time ever, he’s more focused on the company than his personal life. He spends his free time at the ice rink his brother owns, cheering on his niece at her hockey games…and watching Gabriella Welk, the superstar athlete and assistant coach who gets under his skin in a way he can’t ignore. He’s shocked when Gabi agrees to trade a favor for a favor. They have little in common besides their mutual mistrust, but between family crises and sibling rivalries, Nolan and Gabi realize they want to be more than just friends—much more.

One   Nolan   The SpongeBob SquarePants theme blared from my phone.   I silenced it right away, but the damage had been done. "Sorry."   "Please tell me you're not watching cartoons while we're trying to have a meeting," my cousin Brady Lund, CFO of Lund Industries, complained.   Cartoons? WTF? Why would he accuse me of that? Like I fucked around in meetings all the time?   Maybe you oughta tell him you were tempted to watch anything to drown out his boring, meandering drone.   "That's Mimi's ring tone. She's home sick today and apparently she's bored."   "That's why my son isn't getting a cell phone until he's responsible enough to use it," Brady retorted.   "Shouldn't be a problem since he's only a couple of months old," Ash said. "Can we get back to business?"   "By all means. What do you propose?" I looked at Brady, who'd just finished giving his preliminary first quarter revenue report before my phone's untimely interruption.   Brady sighed and ran his hand through his dark, already disheveled hair before his gaze moved between me and our cousin Ash, the COO of Lund Industries. "To be honest, I'm uncomfortable giving my recommendations in present company. No offense, Nolan."   Technically I was the odd man out in this session as I was the CEO . . . in waiting? In training? On deck? In the wings? I wasn't the third power "C" in Lund Industries--yet--I'd step into the role of CEO of Lund Industries when my father, Archer Lund, stepped down.   No one saw that happening anytime soon.   I stood. "Have your admins give mine a shout after you've brought this up in executive session." I headed toward the door, but I paused in the doorframe and faced them. "In the future, I prefer to be excluded when you need a sounding board for your recitation of bad news. No offense."   "No need to get pissy, Nolan."   "That wasn't me being pissy. I just don't want you to present me with a list of problems without allowing me to participate in a discussion of solutions."   I stepped into the elevator and hit the down button. My office wasn't on the same floor as the other executive offices.   Since Lund Industries owned the entire building, each Lund family member was fortunate enough to get his or her own space. As CEO, my father had the nicest office on the highest floor. His brother Monte, who was president of the board of directors, and his brother Ward, who handled corporate accounts, had separate offices but shared their floor with the executive boardroom. As CFO, Brady and the financial department had one entire floor to themselves. Same for Ash and the operations department. My cousin Annika headed the PR department, which shared a floor with marketing. My mother, my aunt Priscilla and my aunt Selka also had their own floor, which was home to the Lund Cares Community Outreach--LCCO--program, a foundation that funded numerous charities and events in the Twin Cities and across Minnesota.   The rest of the building had the usual sales, legal, acquisitions
