Growing up, the ice was my safe space. I excelled at playing hockey. However, these days, it's hockey players who provide sanctuary—one bed at a time. We have an arrangement. I offer them a night of pleasure, and in return, they grant me all the temporary, artificial love I can get my hands on—a chance to feel whole.

One night with him was all it took to tear down walls and crack the facade I worked so hard to build.

When you're one of the few female coaches in the NHL, hooking up with players is firmly on the "don't even think about it" list.

A charity gala, two men, and enough champagne to fill the Stanley Cup later... here I am, staring at a positive pregnancy test and questioning every life choice that led to this moment.

My friends found their happily-ever-afters with a couple of sweet, doting, over-the-top, in-love athletes. They got nicknames like Kitten and Sugar. But me? I got stuck with a dickhead who riles me up on purpose and calls me Banshee. Yeah, he might have a voice made explicitly for wet dreams. And he might have a body and face carved by the gods. And he might have a level of Alpha-hole that gets me all hot and bothered. But when he presses my buttons, he presses ALL my buttons.
