Tessa Novak thinks Cole Hartley walked away from their daughter. Cole doesn't know he has one. Somebody made sure of both.
Cole has just been traded to Milwaukee, and one fan wants him gone.
Frankie Novak holds a grudge like a pro, and she's taped up a crayon sign at his youth hockey clinic: No Hartley. He's the bad guy who knocked Grandpa's team out of the playoffs, and the reason Grandpa needs a new TV remote.
Cole likes her immediately. Then she shoots with her tongue poking out, exactly like he does. His dimple. His eyes. And when a volunteer tries to put her with the four-year-olds, she informs everyone she's five and three-quarters.
Cole counts back to one April night in Portland. She's his.
Tessa keeps his answer in a shoebox: an uncashed check and a single page, signed by him, saying he doesn't want to be involved.
Cole swears he's never seen her letter. Tessa swears she sent it. When he asks his agent, the closest thing he has to a father, the pause lasts one second too long.
Cole is all in: bedtime stories in three silly voices, 6 AM skates, and a second chance with the woman he's never gotten over. But the trade deadline is coming. Houston is his best shot at the Stanley Cup, his agent is pushing him to take it, and Tessa won't ask him to stay.
Frankie is his. Now he has to prove he's theirs.
This is a second chance standalone hockey romance with a secret baby, a one-night stand that leads to a surprise pregnancy, a scene stealing kid, an NHL hockey star, and a guaranteed happily ever after.
