She didn’t know he was hockey royalty when she met him. He didn’t know that was a problem.
If Eleanor Ford had realized the gorgeous stranger she met in a bar was pro hockey veteran Matthew Anderson, she probably (definitely) would’ve walked away. Instead, she slept with him before she knew his name.
New to Minnesota and working long hours as an ER nurse, Ellie is trying to keep her life simple. No attachments. No complications. And absolutely no professional athletes—especially hockey players.
Matt’s rules have always been simple, too. Hockey first, everything else second. At thirty-six, he’s spent his entire life defined by the ice. Now with retirement staring him down, the star athlete is quietly panicking about the unknown waiting for him when the skates come off. So he’s focused on his career more than ever.
Then Ellie walks into his world and makes him want something more than the game he’s spent his life chasing.
