Pucking Ridiculous

British nanny. Must be comfortable working under a silver fox hockey player with a filthy mouth who refuses to fall in love.

American hockey player Max Morin has moved to England for one reason – to repair the strained relationship with his stepson.

But every time Max tries to bond with him, the teenager pushes him away. With only one season in England, Max is worried he’ll lose his stepson forever.

In walks a fiery redhead who gets Max and his son talking and laughing.

Ignoring his attraction to her, Max tries to hire her as a nanny.

The last thing Flora Macdonald needs is to move in with a frustrating silver fox hockey player thirteen years older than her with a filthy smirk who she loves bantering with.

But when Flora’s world implodes, she finds herself at Max’s door with nowhere else to go.

They swear to keep things platonic, but their undeniable chemistry and close proximity are a dangerous combination, and it’s not long before things between Max and Flora go from flirty to sizzling hot.

But Max is leaving in five months, and Flora doesn’t do relationships, so there’s no chance they’ll catch feelings…

That would be pucking ridiculous.
