Celeste

I had it all: a top model career, a handsome husband who would inherit one of the leading modeling agencies, and a lavish house to prove it. The only thing missing was a family.

I thought we were on the same page, but I couldn’t have been more wrong.

As our family grew, so did my husband’s indiscretions. I caught him sleeping with another woman while our baby cried helplessly in another room.

Now, I’m a single mom to three under five, trying to rebuild my life and start a new career. The last thing on my mind is love.

When the gorgeous NHL hockey player takes an interest in my kids and me, offering friendship and support that only my family has shown, my heart and head are suddenly at odds.

After years of hard work, blood, sweat, and tears, I achieved one of my greatest goals: becoming a professional hockey player in the NHL.

I am on top of my game, have several years under my belt, and am a valued leader on the team, but something is missing.

The wild nights out and hopping from city to city, along with the brutal hits my body endures, are starting to take their toll.

I’m ready for a calmer life, someone to come home to and build a family with. Never in my wildest dreams would I expect the perfect one for me already exists.

But she was betrayed by her ex, so I have to fight to prove that—as in hockey—I’m not trying to win the next game but the cup. I’m all in and will do what it takes to make her and her kids mine.
