Fair Play

A little competition never hurt anybody...

Theresa Falconetti has it all: brains, beauty, a quick wit, and her own PR business. To the Deep disappointment of her large family, she never dates Italians, men from her old Brooklyn neighborhood, or professional athletes. Especially not athletes...

Michael Dante, popular hometown hero and winger for the Stanley Cup champion New York Blades is all three—and he is head over heels for her.

For Michael, Theresa's NO HOCKEY PLAYERS rule is a check to the heart. Nothing he does seems to melt her resolve. His stubborn refusal to give up on this wisecracking brunette, who—he knows—is hiding from her roots, is driving them both nuts. And whe he hires her to publicize his family's restaurant, more than the kitchen heats up. Then Theresa finds herself an Upper East Side kind of guy and Micheal is forced to take his game to the next level.

The critics are unanimous about FAIR PLAY...

"This is a brilliant sequel to Ms. Martin's fabulous debut novel Body Check. Take this thrilling trip on and off the ice with a rich cast of characters and a story that will melt your heart. The dialog is witty and the story captivating. If you don't fall hopelessly in love with Michael, there's something wrong with your romantic heart. Ty Gallagher (Body Check) melted the ice. Michael turns you into a puddle. One more "cara mia" would have sent me searching for my own personal Italian hero.
This story is more than magic, it's pure bliss --
not just a great read, it's a reread."
