Pucking Around with the Single Dad: A heartwarming grumpy-sunshine, single-dad hockey romance with found-family warmth, slow-burn heat, and a love tha (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798298831048)

Ethan Cole thought he'd already lost everything: his wife, his heart, and his place on the ice.

As the stoic veteran defenseman for the Steelhawks, his life is a fortress built around two things: protecting his net and protecting his six-year-old daughter, Lily. He doesn't need help. He doesn't want it. Especially not from someone as bright and chaotic as Sofia Ramirez.

Sofia Ramirez is a fixer, but she's never faced a challenge like the grumpy, broken man who's her new patient.

Hired under the guise of being his in-home physical therapist, Sofia's real job is to keep his life from falling apart while he recovers from a career-threatening injury. She knows the rules: keep it professional, don't get too close, and absolutely do not fall for the grieving single dad who looks at her with haunted, stormy eyes.

But as her relentless sunshine begins to crack through his icy exterior, the lines blur. Between shared laughter in the kitchen, whispered secrets in the dark, and stolen kisses in the pantry, their carefully constructed defenses begin to crumble. He was supposed to be a temporary job. She was supposed to be just a distraction.

But as the scandal that injured Ethan returns to threaten not just his comeback but Sofia herself, they'll have to decide what's more dangerous: the conspiracy trying to tear them apart, or the love that could finally make them whole.
