The Goalie and The Teacher - Paperback

by Ashlynne Kristine (Author)

Hollis Shay was used to keeping her head held high when things around her were falling apart. After being laid off, and calling it quits with her college boyfriend, she was determined to turn her life around. The only thing standing in her way however between the life she's always dreamed of and reality-were her student loans and expensive home renovations.

She was determined to make things work on her own, that was of course, until she saw someone needing her help.

Townes McCarthy. Goalie for the Denver Peaks, and guardian to Hayley, his seven-year-old niece, was faced with a problem. Find a way to stay in the States after his contract in the NHL was over, or be forced to move back to Canada. His solution? A green card.

It seemed easy enough, until countless dates left him floundering. Time was running out, and he needed someone genuine. Someone who wasn't doing it for what he could offer them; money, materialistic items, or a claim to fame. That person he fake married also had to understand that love was off the table, that Hayley was his priority, and always would be.

Which was why he was hesitant to accept help from the blonde with the stunning smile. But he was out of choices, and she was his only hope.
