Playmaker A Hockey Romance: A Hockey Romance: A Grumpy/Sunshine Romance

I hate lawyers. My family is made up of lawyers, so I know what they're like. I play hockey, and even though I've got more money and success than they have, I'm still the black sheep. I need an impressive plus one for my sister's wedding. The tax lawyer with the ugly dress, being sneered at by an asshole who's a clone of my brother, would be perfect. In return, I can show her how to navigate the country club the asshole is taunting her about. She's suspicious but I talk her into it. She's one of the few people who sees past my surface layers. Unlike them, she connects with me like no one else ever has. But she's even more relationship adverse than I am, so when feelings develop, she runs. My mother was a flake. I grew up bouncing between her custody and foster care waiting for her to get her act together. Spoiler alert, it never happened. I don't rely on anyone now. I worked hard to become a tax attorney, valuable to my firm and on track to become partner. Except.
