He was supposed to be off-limits. I was never supposed to fall for him anyway.

My father has one rule when it comes to his hockey players: Don't touch his daughter.

Which should make staying away from Bodi Michener easy.

Except I met him before I knew who he was. Before I knew he played for my father's team. Before one broken elevator and a late-night conversation turned into anonymous messages, stolen kisses, and the first person who's ever made me feel truly seen.

Bodi is everything I should avoid—charming, protective, and impossible to forget. And when we discover he's the newest player on the Atlanta Thunder, we know we have to end this before my father finds out.

But we don't.

Because every secret moment with Bodi feels like freedom. Like hope. Like the life I've always wanted but never believed I deserved. My father controls everything—where I live, how I spend money, who I see. He says it's because he loves me. Because he's protecting me.

But the longer I'm with Bodi, the more I realize the truth: My father doesn't want a daughter.

He wants someone to control. And when he discovers our relationship, he makes one thing clear—if Bodi wants a future in the NHL, he has to give me up. Too bad neither of us knows how to walk away.

Penalty Kiss is a steamy hockey romance featuring a protective NHL hero, forbidden love, secret dating, found family, emotional healing, and a swoony happily ever after.
