Second Chance Faceoff

A Sweet Brother's Best Friend Hockey Romance

Colton Hayes is my brother’s best friend, the team’s bad boy, and my new problem.
After a scandal torched his career, Colton was dumped into the minors with a busted reputation and one last shot at redemption.

My job is to keep him out of trouble while ignoring his blue eyes, sculpted forearms, and the kind of shoulders that made t-shirts illegal. Ok, still working on that last one.

He’s cocky, impossible to manage, and allergic to authority—especially mine.
Yet he sneaks in after hours, when no one is watching, to walk my shelter’s restless dogs.
He coaches me through my fear of public speaking and stands up to the man trying to bulldoze my rescue.

Then “my problem” kisses me. Now I want him to stay.
But when I walk into his apartment, his suitcase is open. His gear is packed.
Was I ever part of his playbook—or just the last drill before puck drop?

This is a sweet, kisses-only romance with great banter, slow-burn chemistry, and a guaranteed HEA.
