A secret friends-with-benefits arrangement with the coachās daughter shouldnāt have a shot in the dark of leading to moreā¦

As a pro-bound college athlete with a good-time reputation, I usually have my pick of puck bunnies. But lately, Iāve been in a dry spell that feels more like a curse, and the stress is affecting my gameāthe one thing that canāt happen if Iām going to keep building my case for a future in the NHL, starting with making team captain.
Enter Penny Ryder.
Sheās my coachās daughter, but the moment she pulls me into that ice rink closet and lets me have my way with her, sheās the one thing on my mind besides hockey. She wants me to introduce her to all the things sheās been dying to experience with a guy, and by looking at her list? If I say yes, Iāll be relaxed on the ice againābut if her dad finds out what weāre up to, Iāll be forced to say goodbye to the chance at being captain and finally earning my own fatherās approval.
Penny
Thanks to the ex from hell, Iām a long way from being ready for a relationshipābut after an unfortunate morning involving my roommate and a flyingāahemāpersonal toy, itās clear that itās finally time to reclaim my agency, one long-sought-after experience in bed at a time.
Enter Cooper Callahan.
Heās the most casual guy I can think to be withābut he just so happens to be my hockey coach dadās 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?
