The Girlfriend Zone

In my defense, I had no idea the tattooed, glasses-wearing, soulful hottie I spent one perfect day-and one unforgettable night-with was a hockey star on my father's team. And Miles didn't know I was the coach's daughter. That's the point of a "no-work-talk" date. But now? He's as forbidden to me as I am to him. When I land a new gig as the team photographer, we vow to keep it professional. We mostly succeed...except for that time after a game when he couldn't keep his talented hands off me. And, okay, maybe that other time before a road trip. But I swear, it won't happen again. Too much is at stake-I can't risk my heart or my father's team. But when I'm asked to dog-sit Miles's pack of rescue pups for a few weeks, I discover there's more to him than I ever imagined-a man who's genuine, thoughtful, and irresistibly real. He looks at me like he can't believe his luck. Touches me like he never wants to let go. And listens to my hopes and fears. My heart's getting dangerously attached. But if I follow it... am I putting everyone's dreams on the line?
