Things that stress out this widowed single mom: high fructose corn syrup, intrusive thoughts about my son getting swept up by a tornado, and the sexiest hockey player to grace this planet.
Oh, and the fact that Iâm also said hockey playerâs physical therapist. But weâll lock that tidbit away in the same nightstand as my battery-operated toys.
Moving my son and me across the country to live with my three best friends and our seven children into one dilapidated Boston brownstone should have been the biggest risk Iâve ever takenânot figuring out how to protect my heart, career, and panties while trying to navigate my secret double life.
But Rowan âSlickâ Parker is nothing if not hell-bent on taking slapshots at my comfort zone. The more I try to keep things professional, the more he works to break the rules with his charming grin, piercing gaze, and world-class rear end.
Not to mention, he adores my son.
So, I finally give in.
Donât worry, though, itâs all temporaryâa way for us to get each other out of our systems.
But little do I know, âtemporaryâ has a way of leaving lasting impressions on the heart.

Rowan is a professional hockey player who is confident both when it comes to his skills playing hockey and with women. When he meets Shayla he knows that she is special and he will do whatever is necessary to turn their professional relationship into something very personal.
The chemistry between is intense and Rowanâs relationship with her son is endearing. He understands why Shayla reacts the way she does and shows her that she can have it all including fun.
