Risking the Pucking Defense (LA Vipers #5)

RTPD is the fifth steamy instalment for the LA Vipers Ice Hockey Series.

An all-new, steamy, and angsty reverse-age-gap forbidden ice hockey romance from USA Today & Wall Street Journal bestselling author Tracy Lorraine.

Hayden Monroe.
Hockey god.
Far too innocent for me.

When I secured my job with the LA Vipers franchise, I was running—running from my past and a pain that never stopped chasing me.

LA was supposed to be a fresh start, but the nightmares still haunt me. And the second I look into Hayden’s eyes, I see the same pain staring back.

He’s too young, too good, too sweet to carry grief like that. But it’s too late. The damage has been done, and there’s nothing I can do to change it. I should stay away. He needs to focus on the new season.

But I can’t.
I know that kind of loss.
What it is to survive it alone.

So I tell myself I’m only helping him through the worst of it. But somewhere along the way, that line blurs. Now, I don’t just want to keep him afloat— I want to be the thing he holds onto.

While I fight with every reason we can’t be together, Hayden doesn’t care about any of them.

He just wants me. But can I give him that?
