Taking The Pucking Shot

A Work Place Hockey Romance

By: Jessie Halston

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

It's been two years since I lost everything that mattered to me. Two years since I watched the love of my life die in a hospital bed, leaving me broken and afraid to care about anyone ever again. So naturally, I decided the perfect solution was to move across the country and become the athletic trainer for a professional hockey team.
Smart, right?
Wrong. Because the first person I meet is Reynold Chester—six-foot-two of hockey perfection, team captain, and absolutely the last man on earth I should be attracted to.
Oh, and dating players can get me fired.
But here's the thing about grief—it recognizes itself. When Rey looks at me, I see the same carefully controlled devastation I've been carrying around. When he challenges me, I fire right back with a sass I forgot I possessed. And when league investigators start circling our team like vultures, threatening everything I've worked to rebuild, he's the one willing to risk his captaincy to protect me.
I should walk away. I should keep my head down, do my job, and definitely not fall for the gorgeous, damaged man who makes my heart remember how to beat again.
But sometimes the heart wants what it wants, even when it's complicated, dangerous, and could destroy everything you've fought to build.
Especially when he kisses me like I'm his salvation and looks at me like I'm worth the risk.
My problem isn't that I don't love my hockey captain. God help me, my problem is that I do.

A steamy hockey romance about second chances, finding love when you least expect it, and two people brave enough to risk everything for a shot at forever.
