Foster McInnis’s focus, when he isn’t on the ice, is his 10 year old daughter. He only has the off season and a few short visits when he is playing on the West Coast to see her. The time he has with her is scarce, so he cherishes every minute. When his ex announces she is moving out of the country and wants to take Bowie Jane with her, Foster jumps into action to make sure he doesn’t lose his daughter. Quick action means he has to have a nanny lined up before he goes before the judge, and Mazzy comes highly recommended from within the Titans organization.

Mazzy loves everything about being a nanny and though she is sad to see her previous employers moving away, she is excited for new opportunities. She doesn’t know much about hockey before she starts working for him, but quickly finds her rhythm in the household and in the stands at games. She also finds herself attracted to her employer in a way she’s never felt before, both Bowie Jane and her father.

This was an easy, cozy read with only a few bumps along the way for Mazzy and Foster. If you’ve followed this series, you likely have an idea of some of the threats that face this newly formed family unit, but even knowing what was coming, the story built in a comfortable, non-angsty way. I loved watching Mazzy and Foster explore their attraction while supporting and encouraging Bowie Jane. The little family unit they form is full of open communication, clear boundaries, and lots of heart.

There is plenty of time with the team, but mostly in the background. There are a few new team members this season and I’m looking forward to getting some more back story on a couple of them.
