Derek by Lisa Linwood

He’s playing a new game, and she’s his only shot at winning.

When he lost the captaincy of the NHL’s San Jose Blazers, Derek West descended into a haze of booze and puck bunnies. The last position he’s qualified for is father. But when a previous hookup abandons the baby he didn’t know existed, he’s thrust into a role he never wanted. Completely unprepared, he needs all the help he can get.
Avery Lane has career goals that don’t include opening her heart to another baby. But when she’s laid off from her position in graphic design, she falls back on the job that put her through college: live-in nanny. For the hottest boss in the league.
Derek is tempted by the kissable nanny, but he allows his reputation to come between them. Will he overcome his fears and take a shot at happiness?
