Calle Stevens wasn’t what one would call a risk-taker.

She was steady. She was even. She was . . . pregnant.

Her life was ruined.

She was an assistant coach for the professional hockey team, the San Francisco Gold. She didn’t have any family in the area, didn’t have a partner. How was she going to have a baby? But then…

Cooper.

A star player for the team, he’d found out about the baby, and as much as she tried to push him away, he refused to keep his distance.

And as the weeks went by, she didn’t want him to stay away.

She wanted him to come even closer.
