Secret-baby hockey heat with Boston’s star goaltender, a dedicated pediatric nurse, and the unexpected son who brings them together despite their best defenses!

Zane Westbrook, the Boston Titans’ star goaltender known as “The Wall,” structures his life with the same focus he brings to the net. His pre-game rituals are legendary, his apartment meticulously organized, and his future carefully planned. Nothing gets past his defenses—until the memory of one passionate night in Nashville twelve months ago reappears in his perfectly regulated world.

Ivy Mitchell has just moved to Boston for a prestigious pediatric nursing position, with her three-month-old son Milo in tow. She never told Zane about the pregnancy, believing the driven goaltender wouldn’t want the disruption to his career—and she refused to be seen as just another hockey groupie. But when a charity event at the hospital brings Zane face-to-face with Ivy—and the son who has his unmistakable ice-blue eyes—everything changes in an instant.

Stunned but determined, Zane insists on being part of his son’s life. Ivy reluctantly agrees to co-parenting, but is adamant about keeping their relationship strictly about Milo. As they navigate midnight feedings, first steps, and the challenges of their demanding careers, their mutual love for their son brings them closer together, and the chemistry that created Milo proves impossible to ignore.

Just as they begin to imagine a future as a family, the Titans advance to the championship finals, putting Zane under intense pressure. Meanwhile, Ivy receives a dream job offer in Seattle that would advance her career but separate their newly forming family. With the championship and their future on the line, Zane and Ivy must decide if they’re willing to lower their defensive walls and let love in, or if they’ll remain just a one-night stand with lifelong consequences.

PUCKING THE ONE NIGHT STAND is the first book in the Boston Titans Hockey Series. This steamy contemporary sports romance features a methodical goaltender with walls around his heart, a fiercely independent nurse protecting her son, a surprise baby who inherits his father’s piercing blue eyes, and a guaranteed HEA.

Tropes you’ll love: secret baby, co-parenting to lovers, sports romance, career versus family, emotional walls, found family, second chance romance, and championship stakes.

Each book in the Boston Sports Universe features different characters and can be read as standalones, though interconnected through the vibrant world of Boston’s professional sports scene across hockey, baseball, football and basketball teams.

Some saves matter more than what shows on the scoreboard.
