The Book
Sleeping with my teammate's sister? Rookie mistake.
Getting her pregnant? Career-ending penalty.
They call me the Guru—the guy who never loses his cool, never breaks the code, and definitely doesn't knock up his best friend's little sister after one perfect, reckless night.
But judging by Beatrice's new baby bump, six months ago, I did just that.
Now she's back in New Orleans, gorgeous, glowing, and determined to do this solo. She doesn't need my money, my help, or my suddenly inconvenient feelings.
Too bad. Because I'm not the kind of man who skates away from the woman I haven't been able to stop thinking about since the moment she left.
So I show up. I prove I'm not just the guy who got her pregnant, but the friend who listens, the partner who's got her back, and the lover who knows exactly how to make her forget why she ever thought romance might be dead.
And if keeping us a secret protects her peace? Fine. I'll play along.
But secrets have a way of hitting the ice when you least expect it. And when ours does, I'll have to prove to her brother, my team, and the woman I'm falling for that I'm not just chasing a win.
I'm playing for forever.

My Review 5 STARS
**My thanks to the author for providing me with a free copy for an honest review**
How do you get out of a reading slump? Read a book by this author and then find you struggle to put the darn thing down.
This is the story of Beatrice and Blue and boy it's a good one! Both characters get to do a little soul searching, get to grow and find that they are better off when they are together for each other in the ways that matter.
Blue already a voice of the wise is spooked by Beatrice's news, but then he did not have an easy beginning of life when he grew up and has to face many challenges already after having to leave everything behind.
Beatrice has finally gotten away from her rotten ex and is trying to not only find out who she is but to reinvent herself and learn to trust in herself again.
I love how Bea's family rally round to support her even when they are hurt from her concealment and both of their friends are so close and helpful.
We get to see more of Clover and the beginning of something growing between her and Dean from the first moment that they meet.
I loved this book and cannot wait for the next one in the series.
