Part of All In
First published 2021
Jake Masterson manages Seattle's NHL team after abandoning his playing career to be a single father. His daughter Queenie has been his focus for over twenty years, but now she's getting married. The wedding brings Jake face to face with Hanna, his future son-in-law's older sister. Jake fights his attraction to her for months until they finally kiss. That single kiss leads them to bed, then the shower, then the hot tub. They begin sneaking around for months of secret encounters. The arrangement works because it stays casual. Jake lives in Seattle while Hanna lives across the country. The distance keeps things simple. Then Hanna discovers she's pregnant. Their casual relationship suddenly becomes anything but simple. Jake must decide what matters most when the woman he can't resist carries his child.
