Grumpy Player (Player #3)
R.C. Stephens

Being injured on the ice doesn’t just make me a grumpy goalie, it makes me a frustrated single dad unable to care for my daughter… or myself.
Ellie is the perfect candidate— kind, patient, beautiful, and looking for a place to call home after a falling out with her family.
It’s a win-win, until my desire for her nearly makes me lose my mind. My restraint is hanging by a thread, and I’m one sponge bath away from snapping. When I finally do, our chemistry proves explosive.
Suddenly, everything I love is on the line. My family, my career… my heart.
How can I convince Ellie I’m more than just a grumpy player? I’m hers.
This is a full length hockey romance with an HEA. There is no cheating but there is a grumpy dad who is a hockey player and a sunshine nanny who have explosive chemistry.
