From blind date to blindsided… I've been living my dream life for so long, it never occurred to me it could turn into a nightmare overnight. But that’s exactly what happens when my estranged sister dies, leaving me with temporary custody of her moody eleven-year-old daughter. At twenty-six, I’m a professional hockey player and bachelor with zero interest in settling down, let alone raising a kid—especially one that hates me. That’s where the other skate drops… The stunning new woman in my life is the sunshine to my grumpy, but I can’t stay away, even though I know I shouldn’t start something I can’t finish. Now I’m outnumbered, and to make things extra fun, the only person my niece hates more than me is my new girlfriend. I’m learning the hard way there’s no play book for parenting… or dating.
