Book excerpt: From USA TODAY Bestselling Author Claudia Burgoa comes an enthralling single dad, hockey romance that skates through the challenges of forbidden love, healing after trauma, and found family. They say never mix business with pleasure. As a single father, and the captain of the Seattle Sasquatches, I’m adamant to keep every corner of my life separate and running perfectly. That is, until Indie Decker walked into my life. She’s the team owner's little sister, my new nanny, and so completely out of my league. Our first encounter? Pure fire, clashing wills with a passion that ensnared us both. Our second? A tentative truce, maybe even a budding friendship. But at some point, we slid recklessly into a 'friends with benefits' arrangement, thinking we could stay casual. Wishful thinking, I know. With each passing day, our no-strings-attached fling starts weaving threads between us that I’m not ready to cut. Indie’s fierce independence clashes with my need to protect, to heal, and to love her despite her warrines to open up. But will my steadfast will and soft hands be enough to get through her defenses? Or am I doomed to sit in the penalty box of Indie’s heart? Ice, Love, & Other Penalties is part of the family Decker but can be read as a standalone.

One tragic accident, and just like that, he slipped into a coma. For years, I clung to hope; holding on to every 'what if.' But life doesn’t stand still. Eventually, I had to learn how to live again. Grief clung to me like a second skin when Haydn Wesford came into my life. He’s a professional hockey goalie with a natural instinct to protect. He showed up just when I needed someone the most. Loving Haydn was like taking my first real breath in years. He made me laugh when I thought I’d forgotten how and made me believe in second chances. Just as Haydn and I were about to build a life of our own, everything came crashing down. Justin woke up. I can’t abandon him. Haydn, being the man he is, agrees to help bring Justin home and get him back on his feet. But as days turn into weeks, feelings I thought were buried begin to stir. I remember the promises Justin and I made, the future we dreamed up together. Now I’m standing at a crossroads—caught between the man who is my past and the one who would be my future. I’m torn in two. Two hearts. Two futures. And only one choice. How do you let go of your first love when he’s standing right in front of you? How do you choose the man you need… without breaking the heart of the one you can’t seem to let go of? The fault in forever is that sometimes love isn’t enough. And now, I have to decide who I am—and who I can’t live without—before I lose them both.
