Pucking The Mountain Man Ex-Goalie
(2027)(A book in the Mountain Man Hockey Romance series)
A novel by Tessa McRae
She skated into my life the same way trouble always does — sideways, at full speed, and without any warning.
I hung up my pads three years ago when my knees finally said what my coaches had been hinting at for two seasons. Traded the ice for forty acres of Montana wilderness, a cabin I built with my own two hands, and a silence that finally felt like peace.
I wasn't looking for company. I wasn't looking for anything.
Then my truck breaks down on the one road that leads to the middle of nowhere, and Cassidy Monroe is the only person who stops.
She's sharp-tongued and soft-eyed and she has no idea who I am ''' which is the first interesting thing that's happened to me since I left the league. She doesn't care about my stats, my Stanley Cup ring, or the highlight reel that still lives on sports channels at two in the morning. She just sees a man on the side of the road who needs a ride.
I should have kept my distance.
Instead I invited her in.
Now she's in my kitchen, in my head, and dangerously close to the parts of me I retired along with my jersey number. She makes this mountain feel like somewhere worth staying. She makes me feel like someone worth knowing again.
I spent eleven years as the last line of defense.
Old habits die hard.
She thinks she's passing through.
She has no idea I've already decided she isn't going anywhere.
Pucking the Mountain Man Ex-Goalie is a steamy standalone mountain romance featuring a retired NHL goalie who traded the ice for wilderness solitude and the sharp-tongued, soft-hearted woman who broke through every defense he built. High heat. Big feelings. Guaranteed HEA.
Genre: Romance
