Coach has one rule: don’t touch his daughter
Cheap Shot, an all-new brother’s best friend, single mom, small town,
hockey romance from USA Today bestselling author AJ Alexander is now
available!
After a heartbreaking loss in the Western Conference Championship, I’m stuck with an
ultimatum: play for the Timberwolves or kiss my professional hockey career goodbye.
Left with no other option, I move back to my small town, determined to prove I can make
my own way—free from the shadow of my older brother’s success. Then I literally run
into Michele Mercer.
Sparks ignite between us the moment I lay eyes on her—frustration and attraction
blending into something I can’t ignore. Michele is headstrong, independent, and refuses
to take crap from anyone, especially me. But when she’s assigned as my
physiotherapist, I think I’ve found my chance—until I discover she’s the coach’s
daughter and completely off-limits.
I should focus on making it into the starting line up. I should remember that the only
person I can count on is myself. But the closer I get to Michele, the more I forget
everything but her.
Coach has one rule: don’t touch his daughter or you’re off the team. My problem? I can’t
stop thinking about her, and the last thing I’m going to do is let her go.

“Are you sure you couldn’t think of something better for the two of us to do instead of
some more boring exercises?”
Okay, that wasn’t my best pickup line, but it’s what I could come up with. I am working
at a much different advantage than usual. Between the new medications the doctor gave me to
deal with the pain and being in the last place I want to be right now, I’m operating under a bit of
a handicap.
“Is that the best you can come up with?” The corner of her mouth quirks up into a small
smile as she runs her hand down her long ponytail, throwing it back over her shoulder. “Your left
arm is going to help your right arm do this workout. I want you to lift the stick enough so you
feel a stretch and then hold it for ten seconds.”
I push my arm back, feeling the stretch almost immediately, a slight tugging sensation in
my shoulder that isn’t too bad but doesn’t tickle either.
“I could’ve come up with something
better, but I didn’t want to waste the opportunity.”
What the hell are you doing, Hendrix? You can walk out of here and get any girl you
want. But that’s the problem. I don't want just any girl. I want Michele.
“I don’t date patients.”
“But I’m not your patient. I’m Stacey’s, unless there is a change to the therapy schedule I
wasn’t aware of. I may have to speak to your manager.”
Michele's eyes widen in surprise as she snorts loudly, bringing attention to the two of us.
“This is definitely a first for me.” I drop the stick from my right hand and bring my hand
toward her face. Crooking my index finger and running it down the bridge of her nose. “I’ve
never made someone snort when asking them on a date.”
“I guess there is a first time for everything.” Michele ducks her head slightly, breaking
eye contact and busying herself with something under the table. “Ready for the next exercise?”
