The Elmwood Stories, Book 4

The hunky dad, the hockey coach, and a new start…

Bryson

Elmwood isn’t good for my love life. Hey, I’m a positive person and I have nothing but wonderful things to say about small-town living, but I haven’t had a date in years. That’s fine—my son is and always has been my number one focus.

Except now he’s grown and gone. And it’s lonely.

Okay, yes, the new hockey coach is hot and single, but he’s off-limits. Smitty’s trouble with a capital T, and his baggage might outweigh mine. Besides, we said nothing would happen after “that” night. It was a one-time, never to be repeated deal.

At least…that’s what I thought.

Smitty

Am I sad about retiring from pro hockey? Honestly, no. I can’t remember the last time I wasn’t in pain. I need a rest and I could use a distraction from unwelcome memories at home. Stat.

So…Elmwood.

Look, we all know I won’t last a whole season of coaching high school kids, but stepping in till they find a better candidate is a good temporary plan. And Bryson’s here.

There’s something about the hot dad with the sunny smile and bad dad jokes that makes me feel alive again. I’m not in the market for forever—been there, done that. Look, I’ve taken risks for my sport, but I’m not giving my heart away again. I know thin ice when I see it.

Or do I?

Exclusive Excerpt:

Bryson snickered, bumping my shoulder as we walked out of the bar together. “Yes! Why did the lobster blush?”

“No…don’t,” I pleaded, putting my hand up like a stop sign.

“It saw the ocean’s bottom. I know, I know. It’s terrible,” he agreed as we neared the bank of elevators. “I’ve got one more. Why do some couples go to the gym?”

“Please don’t tell me.”

“They want their relationship to work out.” He waggled his brows. “Work…out. Genius, huh?”

I fixed him with a deadpan stare and didn’t look away till the doors slid open. He hooted like a loon, grasping his side in hysterics.

I liked this guy. He was sexy and adorable and— No.

“What floor are you on?” I asked, pushing number three.

His gaze flitted to the lone light on the elevator panel. “Same as you.”

Silence filled the car as the doors closed. After our hour-long easy repartee at the bar, the air felt thick with the heady scent of desire.

Okay, that was probably just me. I wanted him.

There. I said it.

I wanted to cage Bryson against the elevator wall and shove my tongue in his mouth. I wanted to taste him, undo the buttons on his pressed shirt, and run my fingers down his chest. I wondered if he was hairy or smooth, cut or uncut. I wondered if he had any tattoos. I wondered if he manscaped or—

Ding.

Bryson darted his gaze my way, there and gone in an instant, as if he didn’t want to get caught. Was he checking me out too? Was he thinking the same thing? My cock swelled in my jeans at the very idea.

But the doors opened and he was gone.

And I was embarrassing myself.
