Kissing The Unexpected Hockey Dad
(2026)(The fourth book in the Maple Harbor Hockey Heroes series)
A novel by Bryn Beck
My brother’s best friend is a retired hockey star, a devoted single dad… and the last man I should fall for while running from my ex.
I came to Maple Harbor looking for one safe night.
Mason Hale gives me a cottage next door, a job at the rink, and a place in his teenage daughter’s life.
He also gives me choices—something I’d forgotten I was allowed to have.
Keeping my distance should be easy.
Except for the music drifting between our homes and the musical connection we have.
The coffee he remembers exactly right.
And the way this protective hockey dad looks at me like I’m more than what I survived.
One reckless night changes everything.
Now I’m pregnant, my dangerous past has found me, and staying could put Mason and Holly in the crosshairs.
I came here to disappear.
But how do I run from the first man who ever made me feel safe enough to stay?
