Meet your match: special edition - kandi steiner

One Month with Vince Tanev: Tampas Hotshot Rookie Twenty-four-seven access on and off the ice.

The headline says it all, and my bosses are over the moon when the opportunity of a lifetime lands in my lap.

Of course, they arent aware that Ive already met Vince Cool at an all-star gala - and that we were at each others throats the entire time.

It doesnt matter that hes the kind of hot that shows God has favorites - messy brown hair, heated hazel eyes, the smirk of a rockstar, and a scar over his eyebrow that makes every woman particularly feral.

Hes a rich, cocky playboy - a brand Im all too familiar with, and one Im determined to never be around again.

But after my coverage of the gala stirs up buzz, the teams General Manager and my CEO strike a deal.

To help fill the arena at home games, Ill get up close and personal with Tampas new shiny toy.

Whether hes at practice, playing in a game, partying, or drinking coffee half-naked in his condo - Ill be there for all of it.

Vince gets under my skin like no one else.

It isnt long before that paper-thin line between hate and lust blurs, and being around him every waking minute of the day leaves no chance to escape his devilish stare.

The air crackles between us.

The tension is hot enough to melt my inhibitions.

But I know the way this story ends.

Ive lived it once before.

As much as I work to guard my heart, my body is a traitor - and if this man puts his hands on me, I know Ill submit to desire.

I thought one month with Vince Tanev was a game I could win easily.

But I might have just met my match.
