Chicago Railers Hockey

Steele Sanderson has always been my safe place. My best friend. My constant. My person. So when I walk in on my boyfriend—who also happens to be my boss—screwing a colleague on his desk, it’s Steele who picks up the pieces. Now I’m living in his penthouse, crashing in his guest room, and working as his assistant while I figure out what’s next. Every day, I tell myself this is temporary. That just because he looks at me like I already belong to him doesn’t mean I actually do. Except... Steele doesn’t see it that way.

I swore I’d never fall for another hockey player. Not after Zane. My ex and the father of my daughter. But when I need a place to stay, River Thompson is the one who opens his door. My ex’s teammate and best friend. Completely off-limits. The man who looks at me like I’ve always belonged to him. There’s just one catch… I have to share his bed. Living under the same roof makes it impossible to ignore the way he’s been quietly biding his time.

From Top 30 Amazon and USA Today Bestselling Author Jennifer Sucevic comes a steamy, pro hockey romance featuring a one-night stand, surprise pregnancy, forced proximity, and a hero who falls first and harder than he ever expected. I thought I had Oliver Van Doren all figured out. The Railers’ star forward with the charm of a devil, the discipline of a toddler, and a talent for creating messes I always get stuck cleaning up. We’re barely friends and definitely better off pretending the sexual tension humming between us isn’t combustible.

I never planned to end up pregnant, alone, and starting over. But life unraveled faster than I could hold it together, and now the only thing that matters is protecting my baby… even if I have no idea what comes next. Taking a live-in nanny job for Laiken Lennox is supposed to be temporary. A fresh start. A safe place to land while I rebuild my life. It is not supposed to be dangerous. Laiken is my brother’s teammate. My new boss. A guarded NHL goalie and devoted single dad already fighting a custody battle. I tell myself I can handle the proximity. The late nights.

Knox McNichols and I have one thing in common—we can't stand each other. He's the NHL playboy who enjoys getting under my skin, and thanks to the marriage between our siblings, avoiding him isn't an option. When my ex refuses to take no for an answer, I show up at Knox's penthouse with a desperate proposal—pretend to be my boyfriend. The plan is simple: convince my ex I've moved on. Except Knox has a few rules... Rule #1: No flirting with anyone but him. Rule #2: If my ex contacts me, I tell him immediately. Rule #3: My location stays on at all times. His rules should send me running.
