A standalone age-gap, dad's best friend's hockey romance.

Hollis Hendrix. Cat Dad. Hockey Player. Tattooed grump.

Love? Longing? I’m familiar with them. All because of my dad’s best friend.
I know better than to lust after Hollis.

First, he’s a decade older than me.
Second, my dad would absolutely lose it—I’m forbidden from dating his teammates.
Third, I just did something I can’t undo and Hollis knows.

So if you’re looking for me, I’m the woman at the pancake house trying not to make it weird.
But when Hollis calls me Princess with gruff longing, I wonder if maybe I’m not so alone in my feelings.
