Why Read This?The one-sentence sell. What do you get for showing up to this book, even when it's hard?

You'll believe in the power of unexpected connections and root for two people who find their perfect match while navigating life's biggest surprises.

Synopsis

Alternate cover edition for 9781533344342 She’s good at achieving her goals… College senior Sabrina James has her whole future planned out: graduate from college, kick butt in law school, and land a high-paying job at a cutthroat firm. Her path to escaping her shameful past certainly doesn’t include a gorgeous hockey player who believes in love at first sight. One night of sizzling heat and surprising tenderness is all she’s willing to give John Tucker, but sometimes, one night is all it takes for your entire life to change. But the game just got a whole lot more complicated Tucker believes being a team player is as important as being the star. On the ice, he’s fine staying out of the spotlight, but when it comes to becoming a daddy at the age of twenty-two, he refuses to be a bench warmer. It doesn’t hurt that the soon-to-be mother of his child is beautiful, whip-smart, and keeps him on his toes. The problem is, Sabrina’s heart is locked up tight, and the fiery brunette is too stubborn to accept his help. If he wants a life with the woman of his dreams, he’ll have to convince her that some goals can only be made with an assist.

At a Glance

Tucker has been quietly stealing scenes since book one, and his book does not disappoint—he is the steady, team-player type who shows up completely for the woman carrying his baby, even when she would rather handle everything alone. Sabrina is the kind of heroine who built walls for good reasons, and watching Tucker dismantle them without bulldozing her autonomy is genuinely satisfying. This is the surprise pregnancy story for people who hate surprise pregnancy stories.
