Karma comes to those who wait...

Small town sweetheart, Sienna Mastrangelo has spent years dreaming of payback against her ex. Why should Aiden Carter—NHL superstar and global heartthrob—get to leave her behind while she picks up the pieces of the life he shattered? So when The Karma Club formed, it felt like fate had stepped in. Along with her new best friends they each had a chance to serve up some just desserts on the ex’s that wronged them. But when plans for Aiden’s comeuppance fall through, it’s time for Sienna to settle the score!

Now, with a gorgeous Italian island wedding as her playground, Sienna has one week to make Aiden fall hard, beg for a second chance... then dump him without a backward glance. Throw in a few pranks, some strategic seduction—easy, right? Except their chemistry is hotter than ever, and as the games heat up, so do the long-buried truths...keeping her heart locked away becomes a challenge like none other. But when it comes to this hockey god, there’s no way she’s handing over the key again, even if Karma does have some plans of its own.
