A secret friends-with-benefits arrangement with the coachâs daughter shouldnât have a shot in the dark of leading to moreâŚ

As a pro-bound college athlete with a good-time reputation, I usually have my pick of puck bunnies. But lately, Iâve been in a dry spell that feels more like a curse, and the stress is affecting my gameâthe one thing that canât happen if Iâm going to keep building my case for a future in the NHL, starting with making team captain.
Enter Penny Ryder.
Sheâs my coachâs daughter, but the moment she pulls me into that ice rink closet and lets me have my way with her, sheâs the one thing on my mind besides hockey. She wants me to introduce her to all the things sheâs been dying to experience with a guy, and by looking at her list? If I say yes, Iâll be relaxed on the ice againâbut if her dad finds out what weâre up to, Iâll be forced to say goodbye to the chance at being captain and finally earning my own fatherâs approval.
Penny
Thanks to the ex from hell, Iâm a long way from being ready for a relationshipâbut after an unfortunate morning involving my roommate and a flyingâahemâpersonal toy, itâs clear that itâs finally time to reclaim my agency, one long-sought-after experience in bed at a time.
Enter Cooper Callahan.
Heâs the most casual guy I can think to be withâbut he just so happens to be my hockey coach dadâs star defenseman.
Yet the longer our connection goes on, the more we trust each other, and the less I want to say goodbye. I know love leads to heartbreak, but what if it can also clear the ice for a breakaway?
