Guarding Home Ice

With his judgmental attitude, I shouldn't want the job.

But since I'm fighting a custody battle and he's desperate, plus the fact that our girls are best friends...I took his offer.

It all seems pretty perfect until the girls aren't satisfied with only daylight hours. First, it's the sleepover requests, then Bailey begging to bring Ryan's daughter Amaya with us on our trip to Montana. I never would've considered it had my sister not called and said our brother ditched out on his portion of the reservation fee. 

I can't afford to cover it, and Bailey is dead set on having her friend at the lake. But Ryan has opinions. Ryan ruins fun. I don't need another man in my life telling me how I'm doing everything wrong as a parent. I don't need him hijacking our vacation.

But the one thing Ryan and I have in common? We'll do anything for our daughters.

Besides, how hard could it be to keep a cranky hockey player at arm's length?
