Hot for the Hockey Player (The Single Moms of San Camanez: The Vino Vixens, #2)

Book 2 of The Single Moms of San Camanez: The Vino Vixens A reverse age gap (older woman/younger man) small town, single mom romance. Welcome to San Camanez, a humble, peaceful little island in the Puget Sound and home to the Vino Vixens. Four cousins-and single moms-who run a vineyard, love the wine they sell, raise their kids together, and still hold out hope that not all men are the like ones they married. This is Gabrielle‘s story ... She‘s a guarded single mom. He‘s the hockey player who never forgot her. In a small town full of whispers, their slow-burn attraction is about to ignite. Maverick Eight years ago, Gabrielle Campbell was the untouchable woman I lived with-sophisticated, stunning, off-limits. I was just a teenage hockey player with a hopeless crush. Now I‘m twenty-six, a pro athlete sidelined by injury, and she‘s back in my sights ... watching me get carted off the ice. When I head to her sleepy island to rehab, I don‘t expect her to still haunt my thoughts-or for that fire between us to burn hotter than ever. She‘s trying to keep her distance, but I didn‘t come this far to stay in the friend zone. Gabrielle Maverick Roy is temptation wrapped in muscle and charm ... and completely wrong for me. I‘m forty-one, a mother of two, and I don‘t do impulsive. He‘s younger, temporary, stirring up gossip on the island and trouble in the league. He‘s a risk I can‘t afford. But when he looks at me, I forget every reason I should say no. He‘s patient. He‘s kind. And when he touches me, I forget how to be careful. I swore I‘d never gamble with my heart-or my kids‘-but Maverick is breaking down every wall I‘ve built. Letting him in could ruin everything-but denying him might ruin me.
