From The Publisher:
Zanders
Chicago hockey isn't complete without me-everyone's favorite player to hate. I know my role, and I play it well. In fact, I thoroughly enjoy spending the majority of my game time in the penalty box before leaving the arena with a new girl on my arm each night.
What I don't like is the new flight attendant on our team's private plane. She works for me, not the other way around. But I'll be sure to remind her of that, and I can guarantee, by the end of the season, she'll be begging to quit her job.
But every road trip blurs the lines, and I can't quite figure out if I keep pushing that flight attendant call button in order to push her buttons or if it's more than that.
Stevie
I've been a flight attendant for years. I thought I'd see it all, but when my new job lands me onboard working for the most egotistical and self-righteous diva in the NHL, I start to second guess everything. Including the promise I made to myself of never hooking up with an athlete again…no matter how annoyingly tempting he may be.
Evan Zanders is unfiltered, unapologetic, and too attractive for his own good. He loves his image, but I hate everything about it.
Everything but him.

I didn’t think I was a sports romance person, but this book proved me wrong. Mile High has everything—banter that actually made me laugh, an emotional romance that hit harder than I expected, and a hockey player who falls first (which is always a win).
Stevie and Z had such a fun dynamic. She doesn’t put up with his cocky attitude, and he can’t help but be drawn to her. Their back-and-forth was easily one of my favorite parts, but what really stuck with me was how the book handled mental health. It gave the story so much more depth without feeling heavy.
If you like hockey romances, enemies-to-lovers vibes, and love interests who are way too confident for their own good (until they fall hard), you’ll probably enjoy this.
