Pucking the Single Dad's Defenses
(2026)(The third book in the St. Louis Blaze Hockey series)
A novel by Kayla Martyn
Everyone thinks the hardest thing I ever did was bury my wife.
They're wrong. The hardest part is convincing myself that hockey, my kids, and a quiet, predictable life are enough — that I don't want anyone close enough to turn my world upside down again. After three years, I've almost got myself believing it.
When the team asks me to be the face of a charity gala honoring my late wife, the woman running it turns out to be Sloane Bennett — blunt, gorgeous, and completely off-limits. She works for my team. Falling for a player could sink her career.
She doesn't look at me like I'm broken. She looks at me like I'm still alive. And the more late nights we spend planning it, the harder it gets to remember why I can't have her.
Then she kisses me, and three frozen years crack wide open.
My kids and I are falling in love with her. And if this falls apart, they lose another woman they love — the one thing I swore, the day we buried their mother, I'd never let happen to them again.
One accident is all it takes to put Sloane in a hospital bed — and me back in the hallway I swore I'd never stand in again.
I barely survived burying one woman.
I won’t survive burying two.
Genre: Romance
