Pucking the Publicist: A Off-Limits Single Dad Hockey Romance
Evie Butler
On the eve of my first day as the Phantoms’ team publicist, in a blackout, I meet Ronan Maddox.
One locked door, one reckless kiss—and I wake up alone.
By noon, he’s my assignment—a docuseries to humanize the hardest man in hockey.
He’s the star; I ask questions.
He’s a fortress on the ice; At home–his daughter’s safe haven.
As we work, he pays attention—to me.
His steady palm at my spine, a note under my mic, the way he lets me set the pace.
Somewhere between camera checks and my stolen breath, we both fall—hard.
When a racy photo of us hits the tabloids, heads explode in the front office.
Now my job is on the line, unless I refuse to hide and go on the record –we’re done.
