Over the Moon

Hockey is my first love. And I'm coming off the best season of my life.

In the process of scoring the winning goal that gave us the Stanley Cup I tore my MCL, and I'll need to spend the next few months recovering.

Eloise Gable, the team's new physical therapist, has been sent to Rosewood River to help me heal and get me ready for the new season.

Yet, she doesn't seem all too happy about the situation. In fact, she can't stand me most days. It doesn't stop me from staring at her any chance I get. She's beautiful and brilliant, but she's got her guard up the minute I get close.

Eloise is a distraction I wasn't prepared for. Did I mention that she's also my coach's daughter?

But after a long run together in the summer heat, our built up tension snapped. We end up stripping down and jumping in the river. It seemed like the logical thing at the time.

The problem is, Eloise Gable is completely off limits. But I'm a professional hockey player, and in my world, limits were meant to be pushed.

Hockey may be my first love, but after falling for my coach's daughter—it's definitely not my last.
