Pucked Off

*A Standalone novel*



I’m NHL defenseman Lance Romero, AKA Lance “Romance."



I’m notorious for parties and excess. I have the most penalty minutes in the league. I get into the most fights. I take the most hits. I’m a player on and off the ice. I’m the one women with no inhibitions want.



Not because I like the notoriety, but because I don’t know how to be any other way.



I have secrets. Ones I shared with the wrong person, and she used them against me. Sometimes she still does. I should cut ties. But she makes it difficult, because she’s the kind of bad I deserve.



At least that’s what I believed until someone from my past gets caught up in my present. She’s all the good things in this world. She lights up my dark.



I shouldn’t want her.



But I do.



I should leave her alone.



But I won’t.
