Overview

Maya Chen's dream job as the Seattle Storm's social media manager was supposed to be about professional B-roll and player stats. It wasn't supposed to involve a ""First Day Disaster"" that would change her life forever. When the team's six-year-old twin ""terrors,"" Emma and Lily, hijack her phone and post an unauthorized video of their father-the notoriously ice-cold, silver-templed captain Jackson Kane-to the official account, Maya is certain her career is over before it has even begun. Instead, the video goes nuclear. The world has officially discovered #HockeyDaddy, and the Seattle Storm front office isn't about to let an 8-million-view trend go to waste. The Arrangement Jackson Kane has only two priorities: leading his team to a championship and raising his daughters alone. Since losing his wife seven years ago, he has been a man of iron-clad rules, rigid boundaries, and protective silence. He doesn't do social media, and he certainly doesn't do ""authentic"" family content. But his contract has other ideas. To fulfill his publicity obligations, he is forced to allow Maya into his home three mornings a week to film a ""Life as a Hockey Dad"" series. The Proximity Maya expected the terrifying veteran who intimidates rookies and scowls at reporters. She didn't expect the man who makes fancy pancakes with berry garnishes, handles ""recess politics"" with the precision of a diplomat, and hasn't shared a real dinner with an adult in nearly a decade. As she captures the raw, domestic side of the NHL's grumpiest captain, the professional lines begin to blur. The twins have already decided Maya is family. And for the first time in seven years, Jackson is noticing the way a woman smells like vanilla and how her laughter makes his quiet house finally feel like a home. But falling for the captain comes with a heavy price. There is a fourteen-year age gap, a workplace power dynamic, and the heavy ghost of Jackson's past. The Conflict When a vicious tabloid attack labels Maya a ""calculated gold digger,"" Jackson has to choose between the safety of his silence and the risk of his heart. Standing in front of the world at a high-stakes press conference, he makes it clear: anyone who comes for her comes through him. The Legacy Their journey doesn't end with a trophy. It spans twenty years of chaotic mornings, high-risk pregnancies, career shifts from player to coach, and the beautiful, messy reality of raising four children. From their first ""Viral Sensation"" to their twenty-year vow renewal, witness the Kanes as they prove that some of the best goals in life are scored off the ice. ""PUCK ME DADDY"" is a spicy, sweet, age-gap romance perfect for readers who love: The ""Grumpy/Sunshine"" Dynamic: He's the grumpiest man in the NHL; she's the only one who makes him smile.
