The NHL’s grumpiest goalie just met his biggest weakness—his sunshine-y, totally off-limits yoga instructor…

After clawing my way back from a rough few years, I’m finally getting my second chance in the league. The only thing standing between me and a legendary comeback? My own cantankerous attitude—and the blood pressure to match.

Enter Stephanie Love—yoga guru, human ray of sunshine, and the last woman I should be thinking about kissing. She’s here to help me chill the hell out before training camp.

Instead, she’s making it impossible to keep my cool.

One downward dog, and I’m done for. It’s the way she moves, the way she laughs, the way she sees right through my broody bullshit.

I can’t afford distractions, especially not a big-hearted woman who deserves better than a broken goalie with a bad reputation.

But the more I fight it, the clearer it becomes—this game was rigged from the start.

She’s my new dream, now…and I’m about to break every rule to make her mine.
