Mile High: Windy City Series, Book 1

About this book

Evan Zanders is the NHL’s resident villain—a man who embraces his reputation for being an arrogant, unfiltered diva both on and off the ice. When Stevie, a seasoned flight attendant, joins the staff of the Chicago hockey team’s private plane, she is determined to ignore Zanders’s charms and keep their relationship strictly professional. Having sworn off athletes after past heartbreaks, she finds his constant demands and ego insufferable. However, Zanders is equally determined to get under her skin, constantly hitting the flight attendant call button just to provoke a reaction. What begins as a classic enemies-to-lovers clash soon shifts as the miles accumulate on the road. The constant proximity and witty, sharp-tongued banter begin to strip away their defenses, revealing the vulnerable, complex layers beneath Zanders’s playboy persona and Stevie’s guarded exterior. More than a typical sports romance, this story weaves in raw, heartfelt discussions about mental health, past trauma, and personal growth. As the season progresses, the lines between professional duty and genuine connection blur, forcing both characters to decide if they are willing to risk their hearts for something real. It is a steamy, emotional journey that proves even the most stubborn hearts can be won over.
