Kiss And Make Up: My Ex Is The Hockey Captain
“Four years ago, he left to chase the pros. He didn't know he left two of us behind. Rule #1 of being a single mom: Never let the reckless hockey star who broke your heart back into your life. Rule #2: Definitely don't let him find out that your toddler is his. Maxwell Vance is campus royalty: lethal on the ice, unbothered off it, and on the verge of a multi-million-dollar NHL draft. I was just the nursing student trying to survive clinicals while raising the three-year-old secret he knew nothing about. He thinks I got married. I think he abandoned me. Until he walks into my campus clinic with a fake injury, that arrogant smirk, and his eyes dead-set on winning me back. One look at our daughter's big brown eyes shatters his entire world. Suddenly, the star athlete who only lived for the game is burning down his own career just to take us out, camp outside our door, and prove he isn't going anywhere. But when a multi-million-dollar draft wants to pay corporate hush-money, and four years of buried betrayal collide, love isn't just a second chance; it's a battlefield. Maxwell thinks he can win my heart back. I'm about to see how hard he's willing to skate for it.”
