Coach x Son's Ex

When ex–pro hockey star Elias Bates opens his penthouse door, the last person he's expecting is his son’s freshly heartbroken ex standing on the threshold with a suitcase and nowhere else to go. What should’ve been a quiet week of rest before training camp turns into a slow, dangerous unraveling of everything he’s sworn off. Comfort, company, and temptation that smells like coffee and second chances. With guilt biting at his heels, and a judgmental dachshund as his only witness, Elias is about to learn that some lines can’t be uncrossed… and some hearts refuse to stay out of the penalty box.

Then Isaiah fucked up. Royally.

Word hit the team chat before it hit Elias. His son had been caught balls-deep in some puck bunny who’d vanished before the sheets even cooled. And when the fallout came knocking, it wasn’t a reporter or a scandal-control call on the line.
