Offsides — Marie Johnston

My husband ran off with his wife.My ex-husband coached hockey with Hayden and our sons played hockey together, but now my ex is in paradise with Hayden's ex-wife. Since the fallout, I've successfully avoided Hayden and hockey since. But my son plays and Hayden wants him on the team. I want a quiet life with no more drama, but I also want my son to go back to the sport he loves.Being around Hayden reminds me of our old friendship, and how easy it is to talk to him. Until one minute we're talking and the next minute...we're so far into each other that I can't think straight. The only problem is neither of us wants a repeat of when our exes got busted together, and our sons haven't gotten over our divorces. Why does hockey season have to be so long?Offsides is a standalone novella in the Playing Hard series by an award-winning author who has been known to skate in the local ladies hockey league but hasn't learned to stop yet.
