A Small Town, Hockey, Forbidden, Standalone Romance from USA Today and Amazon #1 Bestselling Author, Laura Pavlov.

Hockey is my first love, and I’m coming off the best season of my life.

I scored the winning goal and we went on to win the Stanley Cup.

In the process I tore my MCL, and I’ll spend the next few months recovering.

Eloise Gable is the team’s new physical therapist, and she’s a distraction I wasn’t prepared for.

She’s been sent to Rosewood River, the small town where I grew up, to help me heal

and get me ready for the new season.

Yet, she doesn’t seem all too happy about the situation.

In fact, she can’t stand me most days.

It doesn’t stop me from staring at her any chance I get.

She’s beautiful and brilliant, but she’s got her guard up the minute I get close.

Did I mention that she’s also my coach’s daughter?

But after a long run together in the summer heat, we end up stripping down to our undies and jumping in the river.

It seemed like the logical thing to do.

The problem is, Eloise Gable is completely off limits.

But I’m a professional hockey player, and in my world, limits were meant to be pushed.

Hockey may be my first love, but after falling for my coach’s daughter—

It's definitely not my last.
