***The 2nd standalone novel in The Pucked Series***Miller "Buck" Butterson has been banging his way through life ever since a puck to the face fixed his messed up front teeth.

A real, non-bunny girlfriend to take on dates, and not jump into bed with after five seconds of conversation.Miller thinks he's found that woman in his teammate's sister. Except, unlike team captain and all-around nice guy Alex Waters-who happens to date his stepsister, Miller's media reputation as a manwhore is well earned. Beyond that minor detail, Miller doesn't know the first thing about relationships or the time and effort they require.Miller learns-eventually-that if he wants to make Sunshine "Sunny" Waters fall for him, he's going to have to do a whole lot more than show her his stick skills in the bedroom.

And as much as I might want to keep her, I'll never put the lid on her jar. Not at the risk of losing her. So I've let her set the rules in our relationship. But as long hidden secrets expose us both, I discover exactly how fragile Charlene is, and how much I need her. We're all broken. We're all messed up. Some more than others. Me more than most.
