Delayed Penalty (Special Edition)

I have two goals this season: 1. Prove to the Seattle Serpents I'm not a complete screwup. 2. Stay away from the nanny. I'm hardly able to keep myself out of trouble, let alone a seven-year-old, but when my estranged brother gets a life sentence, I have no choice but to clean up my act and take the kid in. It's all going according to plan...until I'm forced to hire Quinn Benson. She's everything I need to avoid-flighty, messy, creating chaos everywhere she goes. But she makes my niece happy, so I hire her anyway, keeping our interactions as brief as possible, even when she moves in with me. Thing is, the more she's around, the more I want her around-and not just as a nanny. I can't seem to stop falling into bed with her even when I know I shouldn't. Quinn goes against everything I'm trying to accomplish, but I can't stay away. This might be one delayed penalty I don't mind serving... DELAYED PENALTY is a standalone hockey romance novel. There's a single guardian a bit on the grumpy side, a sunshine nanny who doesn't take any crap from him, an adorable little girl you'll want to hug and keep safe, ridiculous teammates who make way too crude jokes, plenty of steam, and a happy ending.
