One Shot (Love on Ice #1)

Falling for the widowed hockey star wasn’t part of the job description

When I stepped into Liam Anderson’s world as his children’s nanny, I knew the rules: Care for his daughters, maintain boundaries, and absolutely no entanglements.

He’s the Kansas City Coyotes’ brooding star still haunted by his wife’s death. I’m a fresh-faced childhood education graduate with a heart too big for my own good.

His life runs on precision and emotional distance. Mine thrives on warmth and spontaneity.

When a cartwheel diffuses a crisis and hot chocolate becomes a peace offering, something shifts between us. One touch was a mistake. One kiss crossed every professional boundary.

What happened next changed everything. Until a crisis threatens his career — and I do the one thing I swore I’d never do. Sometimes it takes losing everything to find what matters most.

And sometimes, love only needs one shot.

A steamy, emotional pro hockey romance featuring a grumpy single dad, his sunshine nanny and the family they never knew they needed.
