As a star left-winger for the Pittsburgh Titans, Atlas Karolak thrives on the ice but keeps his personal life uncomplicated. That all changes when tragedy strikes, pushing him into an unlikely partnership that tests his patience, challenges his heart, and threatens to rewrite everything he thought he knew about love and family.
Playing professional hockey wasnโt just a dream, it was the only one that ever mattered. Iโve worked my whole life for this career, and now that Iโm playing for the Pittsburgh Titans, Iโm exactly where I want to be. My life feels complete.
Losing my best friend to cancer shatters me in ways I didnโt see coming. And as Iโm trying to figure out how to say goodbye, Iโm blindsided againโbecause heโs named me and Maddie St. James as joint guardians of his daughter.
Maddie and Iโฆ weโre not friends. Weโre barely acquaintances. If Iโm oil, sheโs water, and weโve never managed to mix without friction. But for the sake of a little girl whoโs already lost too much, we need to find neutral ground and figure out how to co-parent.
Are we capable? Iโd like to think so. Are we scared out of our minds? Without a doubt. Can we put our differences aside and work together? Honestly, it depends on the day. But when stress turns into stolen glances, which turn into nights we canโt take back, our partnership gets a whole lot more complicated.
Because what started as obligation is starting to feel a lot like forever.
Atlas has been best friends with Gray since they were children so when he passes away and asks him to raise Grayce as his daughter he canโt say no even if that means co-parenting with Maddie, Grayโs other best friend, who he doesnโt get along with. He now finds himself living with Maddie and Grayce and what began as a co-parenting relationship is beginning to feel like a family.
Maddie has been best friends with Gray since they were in college, and she has been there to help his daughter while he tried to fight a devastating disease. She knew that he wanted her to raise his daughter however she didnโt know that included Atlas. She now finds herself uprooting her life and moving across the country to live with Atlas while they try to give Grayce the home she deserves but developing feelings for Atlas wasnโt part of the plan.
Due to their pasts both Atlas and Maddie donโt allow people close, but I enjoyed seeing their evolution as they not only opened their hearts to Grayce but each other as well. The way that the Titans family embraced Maddie and Grayce as they helped her adapt to her new life was heartwarming. Jeremy York and Kirsten Leigh bring out all the feels as Atlas and Maddie deal with their insecurities and their escalating feelings for each other.

โMs. Dawson,โ he said. โCome to insult me some more?โ
I took a deep breath, closing my eyes. โNo. Look, about this morningโฆโ
He tilted his head, a smile playing on his lips. โGo on.โ
โIโm truly sorry about what I said.โ
โWhich part?โ The corners of his mouth twitched. Oh, this was amusing to him. Good. At least one of us was enjoying this conversation. โYou were right. I had been staring at the bottom of a bottle. A bottle of milk that I was feeding to my little girl.โ
โI was way out of line. I assumed way too much, and I was completely unprofessional. And I am truly, truly sorry. I had no idea thatโฆโ
What was I supposed to say? โYou looked like shit because you were probably up all night with your daughterโ? I didnโt know how to phrase that politely, so I just didnโt say anything at all.
Goodness, this man was incredibly handsome. We hadnโt been anywhere near this close this morning, so I hadnโt been able to take in all the fine details, like the curve of his chin and his straight nose.
โListen, I usually donโt act like that,โ I said. โI was just mad that Iโd been waiting for an hour, and you didnโt seem interested in what I had to say at all.โ
Beckett straightened up, his expression suddenly serious. โYeah, about that. I have to apologize as well. In all honesty, I hadnโt noticed our meeting on the calendar. I usually check my schedule the night before, but with recent eventsโฆ I didnโt have time.โ
โOf course. Is there anything I can do to make up for the way I acted this morning?โ
For the first time since I met him, Beckett smiled at me, and I was completely dazed. His smile was absolutely delicious. He had full lips and dimples at the corners of his mouth.
Damn, the man was gorgeous. He was wearing a different suit from this morning. That one had looked great on him, too, but this was perfection.
โThereโs no need. I donโt hold grudges, Ms. Dawson.โ
โPiper,โ I offered. โPlease call me Piper.โ
He nodded. โPiper it is.โ
โYou donโt hold grudges?โ I asked.
โNo.โ
โSo, Iโm forgiven? That easy?โ I teased, realizing that probably wasnโt the case.
He tilted his head again. God, I loved that playful smile on his face.
โWere you hoping that Iโd make you work for it?โ
I laughed nervously. I didnโt even know what I was hoping for.

Iโm the last single LeBlanc brotherโfamous in New Orleans for being a successful CEOโฆand a total man-whore. Becoming a single dad wasnโt on my to-do listโฆuntil my one-night stand drops my newborn daughter on my doorstep.
Suddenly, my world revolves around Charlotte: snuggling, changing diapers, preparing bottles. Iโm running on little to no sleep and can barely focus.
So when I space out during Piperโs pitch, she assumes Iโm hungover. Given my reputation, I canโt blame herโbut it still annoys me. So even though her pitch was great, I kick her out of my office. I donโt need complications. Especially not one as attractive as Piper.
However, gossip travels fast in the French Quarter. When Piper discovers the truth behind my exhaustion and apologizes, I give her a second chance. I invite her to my penthouse to redo the pitchโฆexcept Iโm far more focused on her cleavage, her smile, and the way she instantly connects with my daughter.
I shouldnโt want Piper. I canโt afford distractions. But the more time I spend with her, the harder it is to remember that she is off limits.
