My hockey career's final chapter is writing itself. I'm thirty-five now, and with retirement looming, I'm desperate to make this season count-even if it means playing in L.A., the last city I ever wanted to call home.
Then Billie crashes into my life.
She's sunshine personified-more than ten years younger and my teammate's little sister.
Every instinct screams she's forbidden territory.
But one taste of her changes everything.
The chemistry between us is undeniable, explosive.
I know I should walk away, but I can't.
If her brother discovers us, I stand to lose more than just her-my career could end before I'm ready to hang up my skates.
