The Hockey Alpha’s Indebted Mate by Jaymin Snow

A playboy alpha who’s a rising hockey star.
A debt-riddled human nurse who wants nothing to do with him.
And a four-year-old who wants to play matchmaker.

Miranda
Grayson Wolfe is the most insufferable man I’ve ever stitched up in my ER.
The more I want to stay away from him, the more he keeps popping up everywhere I go.
He says it’s because of his son, the adorable four-year-old with big eyes who clings to me so desperately.
I have enough problems with my mother’s medical debt, a loan shark who is eyeing me with more interest than I like, and a life held together with hospital tape.
But Grayson has no intention of leaving me alone. Or vulnerable.

I don’t want him to pay off my debt. I don’t want him protecting me the way he does. And I most certainly don’t want to start seeing past his playboy facade to the grieving lonely man inside.
Then his ex comes for custody of his little boy, and suddenly I’m wearing his grandmother’s ring and playing the woman who tamed him.
It’s supposed to be an arrangement. A contract. A lie for the cameras.
Nobody warned me how dangerously easy it would be to forget it isn’t real.

Grayson
I don’t have time in my life for a prickly human nurse who refuses to be impressed by me.
But there is something about Miranda Carver that has me going back for more.
I don’t do attachments. I have a son to protect and I’ve perfected my playboy image to do so.
Then this prickly, proud, impossible woman walks into my life and the instinct under my skin recognizes her before I do.
My fated mate. Human. Fragile.
The one thing the law forbids me to claim.

So I’ll keep her at arm’s length, even with my ring on her finger and her sleeping under my roof.
Even when my wolf paces and strains and snarls at every man who looks at her.
Marking her could get her killed.
Walking away might be the only way to keep her alive.
But letting her go is impossible—and my beast is done playing by the rules.
