A 6'5 NHL goalie walks into a bar and meets the love of his life...no, this isn't the start of a bad joke. I had a chance encounter in a dimly lit bar that led to an earth-shattering kiss with a beautiful stranger. But then the next morning my world is rocked again—when I walk inside my team captain's house and see her. Farrah Remington isn't a mysterious stranger after all, she's the little sister of my captain and best friend. A woman firmly off limits to anyone on the D.C. Eagles. Now, I have to pretend that kiss never happened. But the more I see Farrah, the hotter our chemistry burns, and the stronger our connection grows—until we can't resist each other any longer. Sneaking around isn't ideal, but what my team captain doesn't know won't hurt him (or piss him off in the middle of the Stanley Cup playoffs). I'm with my dream girl and my team is sailing through playoffs...until the truth comes out. Now my team captain hates me, I can't keep pucks out of my net to save my life, and the woman I love won't speak to me. Can I save my relationship, my friendship, and enough goals to help the D.C. Eagles finally win the Cup...or will I get shut out of Farrah's life forever? Secret or Shutout is a dual POV, fade-to-black romance that can be read as a stand alone.
