I'm NHL defenseman Lance Romero, AKA Lance "Romance."
I'm notorious for parties and excess. I have the most penalty minutes in the league. I get into the most fights. I take the most hits. I'm a player on and off the ice. I'm the one women with no inhibitions want.
Not because I like the notoriety, but because I don't know how to be any other way.
I have secrets. Ones I shared with the wrong person, and she used them against me. Sometimes she still does. I should cut ties. But she makes it difficult, because she's the kind of bad I deserve.
At least that's what I believed until someone from my past gets caught up in my present. She's all the good things in this world. She lights up my dark.
Lance's story was a lot more complicated than what I thought when I only saw him through the eyes of other characters in the prior Pucked books! And my goodness, I loved how he tried to be a better man, but someone kept dragging him back. Don't even get me started on Poppy, she was awesome. And just the woman for Lance. The friendships between all the hockey players, and how all the girlfriends brought Poppy into the fold was great, too.
