Join the journey of a man who considers himself the villain in his own story. The notoriously angry defenseman of the D.C. Eagles is notorious for his temper, leading him into a precarious fifteen-game suspension from the NHL. In an effort to reshape his public image, he is assigned to coach a youth hockey team. This unexpected gig becomes a challenge as he strives to prove his worth.
On his first day at the ice rink, he encounters a fierce and spunky blonde woman who is not afraid to call him out on his behavior towards her little brother. Her boldness catches him off guard, forcing him to examine his actions and the way he projects himself onto others. This encounter is more than just confrontation; it’s the start of a fire that threatens to melt the cold facade he has built around his heart.
The chemistry between them ignites a captivating tension that neither anticipated. As he begins to open up and confront his inner demons, he finds solace in her strength and independence. The pages turn quickly as their banter and shared moments deepen into something more meaningful. But with so much at stake, can he let go of his defenses before he races into the flames of love?
This fade-to-black romance touches on themes of personal growth and redemption, with mild language and trigger warnings for parental substance abuse and the grief of loss. Will this grouchy defenseman allow himself to be redefined by love?
