Mikko Laaksonen, the NHL’s best defenseman, is a brand-new dad trying to hold his hockey season together while learning how to raise his daughter.
A panic attack puts that season at risk, and Shannon Wilder learns he has already told the team the two of them are married.
Shannon has spent years working toward a career as a speech pathologist, with a job waiting in Denver and the fresh start she wanted away from home.
She should refuse the lie, yet his daughter needs stability and Mikko is plainly fighting to get fatherhood right.
A favor meant to steady his child becomes far more dangerous once Shannon begins falling for the single dad the team already calls her husband.
