As a single mom with a rough past, I’ve learned to guard my heart. But this grumpy goalie might just slip past all my defenses…

When the lease for my new condo falls through, I’m left scrambling—until superstar goalie Grant Parker offers me and my nine-year-old daughter a place to stay.

Grant is known for being rigid, stoic, and completely untouchable on the ice. I’m not sure he knows what he’s getting into, inviting a chaotic third-grader into his perfectly ordered mansion.

Still, he insists he has the room. So I accept, telling myself it’s just temporary.

Turns out I was the one who didn’t know what she was getting into. I wasn’t prepared for what it would be like living under Grant’s roof.

I wasn’t prepared for how sweet he is with my daughter, or what watching him listen to her endless stories like they’re the most important thing in the world would do to my heart.

I wasn’t prepared for the way he anticipates my needs before I do, or how he looks at me like I’m not just a struggling single mom… but a woman worth desiring.

And I definitely wasn’t prepared for our late-night talks in his sauna, or the scorching heat between us that bubbles over one night.

For years, I’ve been in survival mode, so focused on being April’s mom that I forgot what it’s like to want something for myself. But Grant makes me remember. He makes me ache.

The problem is, I’m terrified to risk my heart again.

Because if I let myself fall for this gruff, protective goalie who’s somehow become my daughter’s hero and mine…

What happens when it all falls apart?
