Getting served divorce papers was not how I planned spending New Year’s Day. I probably shouldn’t have gone to my favorite bar and gotten wasted trying to drown my sorrows. I definitely shouldn’t have spent the night passed out in the bed of the bartender’s daughter, Gigi. And the absolute last thing I should have done was let my guard down and start having fun. Now I’m thinking of her all the time… fantasizing about the things I want to do to Gigi. I’m in the middle of the best hockey season of my life. I need my head in the game and my focus on the playoffs – not playing house with the gorgeous bartender who makes me feel more alive than I have in years. Finding someone new so soon after a failed marriage isn’t the smartest thing I’ve ever done. But it just might be too late. I’ve been checked hard into the boards, right off my skates, and I’m not only spinning out of control… I might just be falling in love all over again.
