A pro on the ice, a rookie in fatherhood, a screw-up with love—and one shot at redemption.
Pro hockey’s my life, but I’m blowing it with the Boise Trout this season. I have to get my shit together on the ice, but when the police inform me that Rosie, my college sweetheart, died suddenly and left me Eli, an nine-year-old son I didn’t know existed, I have bigger problems.
Worse, this kid is quick to tell me how much I suck and that he hates my guts.
So, yeah... this is going to be great.
Desperate to get Eli to warm up to me, I reach out to Zoe, a past hookup and a local news producer from my hometown of Dickens, Idaho. Despite ghosting each other, she leaps into action, helping bridge the chasm between me and Eli.
As she spends time and connects with my brilliant son, I can’t help but admire her more than I already did. She’s a total badass with her career, life, and enormous heart. Meanwhile, I’m trying to balance becoming an insta-father with extra hockey practices so the Trout don’t end my contract.
Then there are those nagging, frustratingly intense feelings for Zoe, who challenges me in ways I never expected. And dammit, things escalated quickly with us between the sheets. How could it not? She’s a goddess in every way.
The family I always wanted could be within reach, but if I don’t face my demons and pull my head out of my ass, I’m going to be cut off for good.
*Cut Off is a witty, heartfelt stand-alone rom com with adult language and steamy, open-door chemistry that will have you rooting for a happily-ever-after.
