Pucked Off - May 27, 2025

**Final cover, with detailed edges coming soon**

I'm NHL defenseman Lance Romero, AKA Lance Romance." I'm notorious for parties and excess.

I have the most penalty minutes in the league. I get into the most fights. I take the most hits. I'm a player on and off the ice. This is who I am.

Until her.

I was her first kiss at a party she shouldn't have been at.

I shouldn't want her because I'm toxic and I know it. But I want her more than anything.

I should leave her alone because she's all the good things in this world. She lights up my dark. But I won't be able to walk away.

Because I don't know how to stop once I'm already falling.
