I'm a hot-headed pro hockey player with a reputation for two things: reckless fights on the ice and a taste for older women off of it. But this time I might just be in over my head with an older single mom.

With the team's new head coach on my case, I can't afford any more screw-ups. He thinks I need to grow up, and I'm out to prove I can get my act together once and for all. In fact, I just hired a realtor to help me buy a house. How's that for grown up?

Except the realtor turns out to be the quiet, captivating single mom of a boy I mentor on a youth hockey league. I should keep things strictly business, but she knocks me off my skates with those pencil skirts and mom voice.

Molly insists she's too old for me, and I say opposites attract. As I fight for my spot on the ice and battle some personal demons, she's juggling an unpredictable pre-teen, an ex who belongs in the penalty box, and a case of insomnia that has me calling new plays between the sheets.

If I push too hard, I know she'll run. But there's no way I'm throwing in the towel–not when I've realized her heart is the only thing worth fighting for.
