Offside At The Blue Line

He’s the last man my father would ever want me with. Which means he’s exactly the one I can’t stop thinking about.

Dane Kincade is the NHL’s most infamous defenseman, grumpy, dangerous, and completely off-limits, just got traded to my father’s team. Our first meeting he glares across the ice at me, I can tell he’s trouble.

Late-night nights at the rink. Stolen glances. Sneaking into equipment rooms. I sense he wants me even if he knows it will create chaos. But I know he’s the one I want.

He’s relentless without demanding, protective without pushing. Every time we barely touch I feel I’m losing my control.

The problem? My father has drawn a line. The GM is threatening my career. And a jealous teammate is sharpening a knife to stick in our backs.

If my father finds out I’ve been with him, I could lose everything, my job, my reputation, my relationship with the only parent I have left.
