I’ve finally achieved my dream of moving back to my hometown and playing for the NHL team I’ve loved since I was a boy: the Minnesota Raiders. It’s a big deal, uprooting my daughter Summer but being in the old family home with my sister will help.

Except a lot has changed since I left.

Such as my sister no longer being my number one fan and moving her best friend into our basement. Not that there’s anything wrong with Caitlin. She’s sweet as the wedding cakes she bakes for a living and sexy as hell to boot. Oh yeah, and she’s completely off-limits because she’s also the daughter of my coach.

Living close to Caitlin is torture for multiple reasons and while we get off to a bad start—turns out I can be an arrogant jerk—she’s still amazing with Summer, who has more than a little crush on her. I know how the kid feels.

I haven’t been in a relationship since my wife died, and if I give into temptation, then I’m risking my career and my daughter’s happiness. Once I get a taste of Caitlin, keeping from falling for the one girl I can’t have becomes impossible. How am I not going to crack?

Crack Shot is book 9 in the Minnesota Raiders series.
