Penalty Kiss

Ever watch 50 First Dates?
Now add Suits—and A LOT MORE STEAM.

Yeah, I may have dry-humped a hockey legend in a dark alley.
Before you judge—he did save me from a stalker.
There was gratitude. Then tongue. And a little grinding before I bolted.
The problem?
Cameron Wilder’s got a concussion. His memory flickers like bad Wi-Fi.
He doesn’t remember the alley, the kiss… me.
Meanwhile, my photographic memory replays that penalty-box fantasy in 4K slow-mo—on endless auto-repeat.
Now he’s my live-in bodyguard—strutting around half-naked, dropping towels with a smirk like it’s his favorite pastime.
I should hate him. Instead, I’m falling—hard.
Because even when his brain glitches, his instincts don’t.
One hand pulls me close, shielding me on reflex—“Stay behind me.” Hero mode: activated.
The next breath, he looks lost. “Sorry… have we met?”
Then protects me anyway.
The truth?
I’m not really Tara Haynes.
I’m a secret heiress on the run, with a target on my back.
Falling for the man who might forget he loves me but fights every day to keep me—every curve, every kiss, every piece—memorized.

~ Protector hero. Hidden heiress. Only one bed. Enemies to lovers meets small-town hockey heat.
