Hopefully after four years, I’ll actually have the hang of this pseudoparenting thing. It’s only until he graduates and the kids are a bit older. There’s no way I could handle it all on my own, so I asked Asher to postpone his spot in the NHL to play Division I college hockey and help me around the house. Responsibility hit me harder than an enforcer with a grudge, and it feels like I’ve been slammed into the boards repeatedly ever since. I’m the legal guardian of five minors when a year ago, I was throwing my money away on partying and sleeping with anything that moves. My brother’s grades aren’t great-I’m not delusional here-and yeah, he could maybe dedicate more time to study, but when? When does Asher get the chance? He goes to classes, then to hockey practice, and then we go home to a house full of kids that I’m responsible for because our parents went out to dinner one night, lost control of their car, and never came home.

What kind of coldhearted A-hole does he have to be to deny a student extra credit when they’re dealing with real-life shit? Without having met Professor Fuckstain, he’s already managed to get on my bad side.

It takes some epic levels of assholism to piss me off. A lot.īeing a hockey coach and ex-NHL player, I have dealt with a lot of overgrown, testosterone-filled man children in my life. Unless it’s at my brother, Asher, for doing something stupid. Professor Eckstein just made my shit list, and it’s really hard to do that. I march across campus like I’m on a mission. It’s not like I could ever fall for a jock. If all we can have is quick thrills, I’m okay with that. And I have a date to my reunion.Īfter one explosive night together, I want more, but his home life is a mess, and I don't want to get in the way. It's fair.īut when Westly Dalton bursts into my office like a hurricane, all my principles fly out the window. It's not because a hockey player broke my nose in high school.

No matter how entitled jocks think they are, I refuse to give them special treatment. One minute I’m confronting the notorious hockey-hating professor, and the next I’m agreeing to be his date to his twenty-year high school reunion. Even if it’s going head-to-head with Jasper Eckstein. But when our star forward is failing math, I have to do what it takes to keep him on the team. Coaching CU’s hockey team might be the only thing I’m excelling at. When I became the legal guardian of my five younger siblings, I had no idea what I was doing. The fall from NHL superstar to domestic disaster was swift and painful. Puck Drills & Quick Thrills (CU Hockey #5)
