One Good Puck — Sarah Smith

I've had a thing for Abby Taylor since the moment I met her.

She's a beautiful, hardworking, and sweet single mom who I've never had the nerve to ask out.

When she and her daughter need a place to stay after losing their home, I offer up my house.

I tell myself we'll just stay friends and roommates. No way she'd be interested in me, the workaholic head coach of the Denver Bashers, who's more than ten years older than her and has been out of the dating game for so long, it's not even funny.

But the more time we spend together, the closer we get. I open up to her about losing my wife years ago. She opens up to me about her awful ex.

And when she gets stood up one night, I swoop in and take her on a romantic date. One kiss leads to the hottest night of my life…which leads to a no-strings-attached arrangement.

Soon, my heart is involved. I never thought I'd find love again, but I'''m falling head over heels for this incredible woman.
