The Player Series

Getting Skylar to give me a second chance isn't going to be easy. Good thing I play to win. But what if our past isn't the only thing standing in the way? Second Chance Player kicks off a brand new series from bestselling author R.C. Stephens. Get ready for an adorable five-year-old boy, a hockey player with a broken heart, and a strong heroine who has learned to beat the odds. There is no cheating and a guaranteed HEA because they are soul mates.

She is off-limits, not only because she is my hockey team's new assistant physical therapist. She is also the coach's daughter. Getting in between the sheets with her could cost me my career on the ice. So, I'll settle for being in the friend zone if it means I get to be around her. But the more time we spend together, the more the lines we've drawn begin to blur. Especially when Patty asks me to be her date to her cousin's wedding. One minute, we're dancing, and the next, she's in my arms, asking me for one night.

Being injured on the ice doesn't just make me a grumpy goalie, it makes me a frustrated single dad unable to care for my daughter… or myself. Ellie is the perfect candidate—kind, patient, beautiful, and looking for a place to call home after a falling out with her family. It's a win-win until my desire for her nearly makes me lose my mind. My restraint is hanging by a thread, and I'm one sponge bath away from snapping. When I finally do, our chemistry proves explosive.
