In Your Wildest Dreams (Wildcat Hockey, #4)

by Rebecca Jenshak

“Shouldn’t you be, I don’t know, skating around?” Her stare lifts over my head to my teammates warming up behind me. “Can’t. I just met my future wife and I need to know if she’s single.”

And he’s clearly not the guy for her. If she were mine, I’d never take my eyes off her.

I don’t remember much of the walk back to the locker rooms, but after the team doctors check me out, I’m told I likely have a concussion and a separated shoulder. I’m still struggling to focus, probably because of that concussion thing, but I hear enough to know they’re sending me to the hospital to fix my shoulder and check out my head. I feel like I’m outside of my body, watching myself in slow motion. “Did it count?” I ask Hunter, the young trainer tasked with helping me out of my skates and uniform. His brows pull together in confusion as he unlaces my right skate and yanks it off. “The goal. Did it count?” A slow smile spreads across his face. “Yeah, man, it counted.” The pain dulls. At least we got a goal.

“With good reason. I met a ten. You don’t shake off a ten that easily.”
