My Grumpy Puck by C.H. James

When a veteran hockey star retires, all that remains is for him to find love. But is the curvy journalist finding a deeper story than she realizes?

After fifteen years of body knocks, fist fights and broken bones, I’m hanging up the skates.
I’m too old for this shit.
The Vancouver Vikings hierarchy plan on giving me a sending off like no other. Parties. Celebrations. Hall of Fame inductions… My retirement is a big deal, after all.
I’m a superstar. Or at least, I was.
That’s why the countries biggest up and coming journalist is sent to interview me. She comes with a reputation, but I think she should wear a damn warning bell.
I’m left speechless. Her curvy figure and radiant smile have me stuttering. She’s gorgeous.
It’s then I realize there’s still one trophy I haven’t won.

I take my job very, very seriously. My stories are ground-breaking, revolutionary and captivating.
And the enormous ego of Vancouver’s oldest hockey star isn’t going to get in my way.
At least that’s the plan.
I never expected him to smile – he doesn’t do that.
And now he’s demanding I go on a date with him just so I can get his story?
Who is this guy? And why can’t I say no?
I’m a strong, independent woman just delivering what readers want… Right? Wrong.
He pulls me in. Those deep, dark smoldering eyes torment me like I’m the goal he’s craved for too long.
Before I know it, he’s scored. A puck right to my heart.
