Climbing The Mountain - Paperback

my ma always used to say "Sometimes life throws a wrench at you, and you just gotta learn to dodge it."

I've been called NHL heartthrob Oliver "The Mountain" Boone since my rookie days.

Now with retirement on the horizon, It's getting time to think of my future after hockey.

Enter my new friend Tabitha. She's a smart, beautiful bartender with a firecracker personality. She's perfect. I know what you're thinking and no.

We're just friends.

After someone breaks into her house I do what any good friend would and have her stay with me.. We're just friends after all...right? I can't think about how attractive she is or the way her mismatched eyes can make me bend over backwards.

It isn't long before the headlines go from my upcoming retirement to my love life.

Paparazzi and crazy fans were one thing to worry about. But now an old rival has come back and this time he's taking the fight off the ice.

Things between Tabitha and I finally start to heat up... and ok.... Maybe we aren't just friends after all.. but remember that wrench I mentioned? The whole toolbox of them just got thrown our way.
