BEYOND THE FACE-OFF By : Linda O ’ Connor
The Plot :
Kelly Danali has a big personality . She runs a pharmacy by day and lights up the local theatre scene by night . There ’ s nothing she craves more than a spot in the limelight .
Jake Ross is a homegrown hockey star . He ’ s been traded back to the Clarington Quakes and spends most of his time avoiding the press and hockey-crazed fans .
Kelly wants to curb an alarming trend of drug abuse in local teens , and Jake , with his athleticism and sex appeal , would be the perfect spokesperson . Except there ’ s one problem — there ’ s nothing Jake craves more than privacy and solitude .
Kelly is irresistible , and Jake skates around the possibility of falling in love , but is she more attracted to hockey , fame , or him ?
There ’ s more to love … Beyond the Face-Off .
