In my defence, I had no idea the tattooed, glasses-wearing, soulful hottie I spent one perfect day—and one unforgettable night—with was a hockey star on my father’s team.
And Miles didn’t know I was the coach’s daughter.
That’s the point of a “no-work-talk” date.
But now? He's as forbidden to me as I am to him.
When I land a new gig as the team photographer, we vow to keep it professional. Too much is at stake—I can’t risk my heart or my father’s team.
But when I end up living at Miles’s place to care for his pack of rescue pups, the lines and I discover there’s more to him than I ever imagined—a man who’s genuine, thoughtful, and irresistibly real.
My heart’s getting dangerously attached. But if I follow it... am I putting everyone’s dreams on the line?
