The Ever After Effect - Lainey Wolfe

She doesn't need anyone to rescue her...

Molly Trudell has a problem. It's not exactly nice to say that she's stuck with her dead cousin's ugly baby, but facts are facts, and unless she manages to track down this kid's dad, she's got a lot of long nights and dirty diapers ahead of her. Molly isn't ready to be anyone's mom, and there's no way she's letting some deadbeat escape responsibility-even if that means sneaking into an NHL star's apartment.

...but that doesn't mean he won't.

Knox Kingston knows for a fact that baby isn't his, so when he finds Molly snooping around in his bedroom, he's ready to call the cops on her ass-except that he's a total sucker for a damsel in distress. Now he's got a paternity mystery on his hands, a new hockey season to focus on, and a woman he can't get out of his head.

Persuading Molly that their partnership is more than temporary might seem like going for a hat trick shorthanded, but Knox didn't make it to the big leagues by giving up on the game. How hard could it really be? All he has to do is convince a woman who's sworn off men to believe in happily-ever-after...
