Sometimes scoring off the ice leads to the greatest rewards.
I’ve had only one goal in life since I first strapped on a pair of skates—make America’s pro hockey league.
I left Denmark. I made it to the top. Now, I’m determined to be the best. No distractions. I eat, sleep, and breathe hockey.
Until my birthday when my teammates convince me to live a little.But living a little takes on a whole new meaning when less than a year later I’m confronted with a crying baby on my doorstep, drooling on a note that declares he’s mine.
Suddenly, I'm a single dad in way over my head.There is no playbook for situations like this.
Luckily, I have Paisley.My gorgeous neighbor, my long-time crush, and now—my savior.She’s there any time I need her.Helping. Guiding. Gazing at me with those green eyes that make me feel capable of this after all.
With her at my side, I’m quickly learning there’s more to life than winning a hockey game.

If a baby was left on your doorstep, what would you do? Micah, a professional hockey player, lives for hockey and doesn’t have time for anything else in his life. However, when a baby is left at his door, he has to rethink his priorities. I liked Micah and admired how responsible and dedicated he was to being a good father. He is a nice guy but he does carry some baggage from his childhood. Micah doesn’t have time for a relationship, but there is something about Paisley that calls to him.

 

Paisley is Micah’s neighbor and she is not only good with kids, she is also bighearted. She shows up in Micah’s life just when he needs her and they have a lot of chemistry and make a great couple. I loved reading their story and wanted them to get their HEA.

 

I enjoyed this charming hockey story filled with colorful characters.  Micah is close to his teammates. They are his family and they rally around him when he needs help. All the guys on the teams and their wives and girlfriends are all entertaining and fun and add to the story.
