She’s a single mum with a past she can’t outrun. He’s a hockey enforcer who stress-bakes and falls way too fast. In a world full of broken edges, they find something sweet.
When Maya crosses paths with gentle giant Owen “Jacko” Jackson, the last thing she wants is attention, especially not from a man with fists like sledgehammers and a smile that melts her guard.
But Owen bakes cupcakes, reads bedtime stories, and makes her daughter believe in superheroes. Worse? He makes her believe in second chances. But safety isn’t love. And healing isn’t easy.
Especially when the past refuses to stay buried. Sometimes the toughest player on the ice is the one who’s softest at heart.
A slow-burn romance about trauma, trust, found family, and fairy cakes.
