Monica Bennett has spent years keeping her small world in order—raising her son, Eli, and juggling work, life, and the constant chaos of a single mom’s schedule. But nothing could have prepared her for Lucas a retired NHL player turned peewee coach, with a reputation as complicated as his past and a charm that refuses to quit.
When Lucas enters their lives, Eli finds a mentor, Monica finds a spark, and the three of them are forced to navigate the chaos of hockey practices, tournament nights, and the inevitable pull of attraction. But Lucas is hiding scars from a past of fame, addiction, and mistakes, and Monica has learned that opening her heart can come at a cost—especially when someone like him is involved.
Through laughter, heartbreak, and the high-stakes intensity of the rink, Monica and Lucas must learn to trust, forgive, and fight for what matters most—family, love, and a second chance at happiness.
Full of heart, humor, and emotional tension, Off the Ice is the first book in the Totally Pucked series, perfect for fans of hockey romance, second-chance love, and heartfelt family stories.
Savannah James has a gift for writing men who are broken without being toxic and women who are strong without being untouchable. This book shattered me and put me back together. Loved this short but sweet Hockey Romance. Would recommend.
